Check off your holiday shopping list with these unique Hylton Center gift options for the person who has everything.

Some of you may remember the old David-Letterman-reads-his-mail skit with the theme song “Letters! Oh, we get letters! We get stacks and stacks of letters! Letters!” Yes, that kind of thing is taking up increasingly precious real estate in my brain, so I feel the need to get some use out of it.

Bringing us goodwill and cheer this holiday season are Hylton Center Arts Partners the Manassas Symphony Orchestra, Prince William Little Theatre, Manassas Chorale, and the Manassas Ballet Theatre.

Sine qua non

The literal translation of that morsel of Latin is “without which not.” An inelegant phrase at best, gibberish at worst. But the real meaning is beautiful: something essential, something necessary, something without which something else would not exist.

It has never been more important than the present to provide arts education, both inside and outside the traditional classroom. The Hylton Center has taken up that charge – to give meaningful and rich arts education opportunities for students of all ages.

The Hylton Center Education Initiative has extended its digital program offerings this fall to students and teachers through a multi-part Virtual Field Trip, featuring acclaimed family music artists, Dan and Claudia Zanes.

Tickets for Hylton Center spring 2022 performances are on sale now! Get excited for a full season of unforgettable entertainment by artists including Tony Award-winning Hamilton Broadway star Leslie Odom, Jr.; dance by Ballet Hispánico, family performances for all ages, and more thrilling arts experiences!
