Hooray for Hollywood

July 17th - 26th, 2026
John H. Potter Theater

a Phipps Dance Theatre production

directed by MacKenzie Lewis Foster and Christina Leines

In Hooray for Hollywood, a retired actor steps back into a long-forgotten theater and is swept into a whirlwind of memories from his years in film. Beloved cinematic worlds come alive—from the whimsy of The Wizard of Oz to the golden-era charm of Singin’ in the Rain, the intrigue of James Bond, and the sparkle of Moulin Rouge. This dance-theater experience honors the timeless magic of cinema and the dreams that shape every performer’s journey.
