Center Stage at Ruth Page 2022

After celebrating virtually in 2021, we are thrilled to return live to the stage for our annual birthday celebration of founder and international dance icon, Ruth Page (1899 – 1991). Center Stage at Ruth Page annually features the In-Residence organizations who call The Ruth Page Center for the Arts home, and for 2022, in continued celebration of The Ruth Page Center for the Arts’ 50th anniversary, we’re expanding our program to include dance companies from the Chicago Dance Community!

Join us for both nights! Friday’s program will include performances from the artists and organizations who are in-residence at the Center. Then, Saturday will feature an entirely new program with our invited guests. The talented dancers from the Ruth Page Civic Ballet Training Company and advanced dancers from the Ruth Page School of Dance will join these professional companies both Friday and Saturday night.

Each night will also include a wine and dessert reception in our lobby - it is a birthday party after all!
