This program is responsible for bringing outstanding young university artists to Costa Rica, who are true promises of the art world of the 21st Century, in order to generate a link and an exchange between Costa Rica and the United States, through art and culture.
The theater group from North Carolina is made up of four young students, singers, vocalists and musicians, who have stood out for their talent from an early age (Madison Steiner, Demetria Hale, Jerry Hurley and Corbin Elliot).
