ArtsAlive!

ArtsAlive! is a performing arts series for Northeastern alumni, designed to provide opportunities to gather together and experience theater, music and dance performances both on the campus and in downtown Boston. This series, launched in the spring of 2007, celebrates the importance of the arts and creativity within our culture.

Each ArtsAlive! program is coupled with a reception and an opportunity to meet and hear from Northeastern faculty member(s) on topics related to the performance.

ArtsAlive! continues this fall and we look forward to bringing you several opportunities to see and hear from the talented groups on campus, as well as high quality professional productions downtown.

Upcoming programs are listed below. Additional details regarding the receptions and featured faculty speakers will be posted here soon. Ticket sales will be announced via email communications to alumni. Please stay tuned!
