At Mason Gross School of the Arts, almost every night of the week is filled with performances and exhibitions: classical music, opera, jazz, and music of the 20th century; art exhibits by talented students, faculty, and guest artists; modern dance performed by talented faculty students and guest artists; and a theater series that rivals those of the best repertory theaters in the country.
