CTA Workshop Inspiring all students,

Center for Theater Arts & The FISA Foundation…Better Together!
Post-Gazette Coverage
It’s not unusual for Billy Hartung’s student dancers at the Center for Theater Arts in Mt.Lebanon to fret over the frustrations of everyday life: car problems, a bad score on a test, difficulty performing a pirouette.
They are the day-to-day nuisances everyone experiences. On Thursday, Mr. Hartung, the executive director of the center, plans to introduce his students to people who haven’t let much larger frustrations get in the way of their accomplishments.
Performers from the New York City-based Heidi Latsky Dance Company, a group made of both able-bodied and disabled dancers, will conduct a class and workshop for Mr. Hartung’s students, as well as students in classes atMt.LebanonHigh School.
