Set during the last years of New York City’s celebrated High School for the Performing Arts in the early 1980s, Fame JR. is the bittersweet, but ultimately inspiring, story of a diverse group of students who commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work. With candor, humor and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today.

Firedance, hoop, flow and drum to the rhythms of your soul and let your spirit rise in the flames

Step into history with a guided tour of Boundless, a life-size bronze sculpture by artist Stephen Hayes. Located in PNC USCT Park on CAM’s grounds, this striking monument honors the legacy of the United States Colored Troops (USCT)—the brave soldiers who fought in the Battle of Forks Road during the Civil War in 1865.

The sculpture was created from the cast features of 11 African American men connected to the site and its story – USCT descendants, re-enactors, veterans, and community leaders. Boundless was unveiled November 13, 2021 and is on permanent view in the PNC USCT Park on the museum grounds. The sculpture is deeply connected to our community’s history, present, and future.
Free with museum admission

With candor, humor and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today.

Wilmington Voices, New Hanover County’s premiere professional choral ensemble, connects diverse communities through high-quality choral music and outreach programming. Their upcoming production, "Considering Matthew Shepard," is a poignant oratorio reflecting on Matthew Shepard's life and legacy, underscoring their commitment to social justice and emotional resonance.

Inspired by the 1998 murder of a young gay man in Wyoming, Considering Matthew Shepard shares a message of compassion and understanding. This three-part fusion oratorio incorporates a variety of musical styles, set to a wide range of poetic and soulful texts including passages from Matthew’s personal journal, interviews and writings from his parents, newspaper reports, and more.

Wilmington Voices believes the powerful and collaborative art of choral singing is valuable to all communities; it contributes to our spiritual and cultural life while nourishing our relationships with others. A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the Matthew Shepard Foundation to support their mission to amplify the story of Matthew Shepard to inspire individuals, organizations, and communities to embrace the dignity and equality of all people.
