In fact, the attractions that grace this performance center fill its spaces in a unique way.In the eleven seasons since the renaissance of The Egg, this remarkable institution has helped re-establish downtown Albany as a place where the arts can thrive. In its twelfth anniversary season, it promises to prove - through its powerful line-up of artists and performances, its arts-in-education special events, its outreach residencies with area schools and colleges and its debuts of exciting artists rarely or never seen in the Northeast region - that the arts can indeed reach into a community and make it soar.
