Palace Theater To Present 2ND ACT SERIES: JOHN CARTER, April 26

On Wednesday, April 26th at 7 PM, corporate executive, dancer, and choreographer John Carter will share his 2ND ACT presentation, "Live. Laugh. Love!"

Using music, song, and storytelling, Carter will inspire the audience to creatively reimagine their lives and plan for the future. The 2ND ACT series is sponsored by: Rourke Insurance Agency, Timothe W. & Mary Ellen Rourke, and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UConn Waterbury, Skyline Financial Federal Credit Union, The Village at East Farms, WATR 1320 AM, and the CT Mirror.

Born and raised in Waterbury, John Carter has worked at Travelers Insurance in Hartford, CT for over 35 years. During this time, he has also been very active in the Connecticut arts community as a director, choreographer, performer, and dance instructor. He was a part-time dance instructor at the former Connecticut Academy of Performing Arts in Waterbury and Apogee Dance Academy in Southington, and recently choreographed Kinky Boots for Landmark Community Theater in Thomaston.
