City Spotlights is a cultural program exploring and celebrating four Boston neighborhoods through the performing arts. The program consists of high school internships, community performance workshops, intergenerational neighborhood ensembles, and culminates in a community event featuring local artists on May 16, 2009. Past performances highlighted original performances with messages important to our City’s teens: violence, heroes, cultural identity, and education. Participants also talked about their dreams, aspirations, and hopes for the future. In this special performance, the identities of Boston neighborhoods are portrayed through dance, spoken word, theatre, song and multimedia, creating a story honoring the uniqueness and richness of Boston.
