Event Description:

DJD welcomes back “zany tap wizard” Joshua Hilberman for an exuberant new live music show 2010: A Tap Oddity almost a decade after his last performance with DJD in the wildly popular show 2001: A Tap Odyssey. Also described as “the loose cannon of modern tap,” Hilberman performs, choreographs, and teaches internationally leaving enthusiastic audiences cheering for more. A casual, light-hearted evening of tap, jazz, and other surprises, 2010: A Tap Oddity features Hilberman, the DJD Company, and a live jazz trio at Theatre Junction GRAND from March 19 – 28, 2010. Tickets are selling fast for this freewheeling, playful evening of rhythmic rapture.
