by the end of 2018, Center Stage will have brought 29 performing arts ensembles from nine nations — Algeria, Egypt, Haiti, Indonesia, Morocco, Pakistan, Tanzania, Ukraine, and Vietnam — to tour the U.S. from coast to coast, hosted by colleges and universities, festivals, music clubs, and cultural centers. Each tour includes residencies in large cities and small towns, and a range of activities from performances, workshops, and discussions, to artist-to-artist exchanges, masterclasses, and community gatherings.

Cultural and artistic exchanges are just one way the United States partners with the people and government of Egypt. Find out more at our Embassy’s website, eg.usembassy.gov, and follow our participation on Facebook and Twitter at @USEmbassyCairo.
