Join Empower Dance Studio Friday night for a Third Friday event featuring Artist Candy Carver, playwright Howard Craft and dance performances by Anti-Retrograde.

Candy Carver will showcase newer works created to "inspire us to persevere and appreciate our journey," she says.

Playwright Howard Craft will read a scene and discuss his upcoming production, "The Miraculous and the Mundane," which opens at Manbites Dog Theater March 23.

Anti-Retrograde's performance will be a response to all the recent events that have occurred, and in addition to that, it will also speak for those who cannot and respect all those who have come before us and helped us get where we are now.
