Chadash Concert: Beautiful Things

On August 11th, Chadash Contemporary Dance Movement will premiere “Beautiful Things,” at the Broomfield Auditorium, an original story based on the character of Mr. Jude, a high school teacher who has poured out his life for his students and continued to mentor them long after they have graduated. As the show follows his retirement video and what his students have to say about the legacy he is leaving behind as well as everything he has taught them, a pattern becomes clear. Mr. Jude wants to teach his students that there is beauty everywhere around, no matter what the circumstances that surround them if they are willing to behold it. We meet a high school freshman who is dealing with intense peer pressure and bullying, a college freshman who is struggling to know which path to take, a thirty-something mother who is also a successful lawyer and trying to figure out how to juggle it all, and a forty-year-old single man who struggles with loneliness and longs to find his soulmate. Mr. Jude impresses upon them all that there is beauty waiting to be experienced even in the midst of all of their struggles. With a poignant surprise twist at the end of the show, this is a powerful concert that you don’t want to miss!
