UNLV Performing Arts Center announces 2009-2010 season
The Performing Arts Center at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Southern Nevada's premier performing arts venue for nearly 35 years, recently announced its 2009-2010 season, which includes the long-standing Charles Vanda Master Series, New York Stage & Beyond Series and UNLV Classical Guitar Series.
The season opens Sept. 26 with the Charles Vanda Master Series performance by the Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company. Since 1955, the company has toured the exquisite charm of Ukrainian folk dance to international audiences.

Oct. 9 opens the New York Stage & Beyond Series with the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company. Called "world-class" by The New York Times, the company is guided by a vision of dance as the universal language of movement that celebrates performance, individual expression, healing and peace.
