Geopolis Theater Company is dedicated to telling the enriching and diverse stories of other cultures. Each production season focuses on a different culture, and the 2009-2010 season follows the stories and lifestyles of Japan, particularly post World War II Japan. By telling these stories, Geopolis hopes their audiences will become more globally-cognizant, and discover ways to relate to a culture that was once unfamiliar.

*****Upon entering The Japanese Culture Center, please remove your shoes and place them in the cubbies. This is a traditional sign of respect for the Dojo.*****
