Oakton Fundraiser Welcomes Hubbard Street 2

Hubbard Street 2, the internationally celebrated dance troupe, performs at 8 p.m., Saturday, May 14, in a benefit for the Oakton Community College Educational Foundation. A reception featuring hors d'oeuvres and dessert follows the benefit at Oakton's Performing Arts Center, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.

Under the guidance of artistic director Julie Nakagawa Böttcher, Hubbard Street 2 combines theatrical, jazz, modern, and classical dance, giving life to works by some of the nation's most gifted choreographers. Formed in 1997, Hubbard Street 2 is an integral component of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago's education and community outreach efforts, performing at schools, community centers, and theaters for more than 35,000 people each year.

Tickets to this fundraiser are $35, with proceeds supporting scholarships, innovative programs, and other projects that promote Oakton's academic mission. This event is funded in part by a grant from the Illinois Art Council, a state agency, and support from Bank One, a division of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Sodexho Dining Services.

For ticket reservations or more information, call 847-635-1893.
