The Cultural Division cordially invites you to attend several First Friday events on May, 6, 2005.

The second event occurring at the Post Modern will be performances by award winning Collage Dance Theatre ensemble, a site-specific performance dance company that serves up visions of the past with more than a pinch of surrealism.
