The Vedic Philosophical and Cultural Society, a Boise State University student group, will host a presentation of “Dharma: Dance, Drums, Drama” from 7-9 p.m. Aug. 7 at the Special Events Center. The Special Events Center is located in the Student Union Building; free parking will be available in Parking Structure #2 on the corner of Lincoln and University.

“Dharma” tells a story from the epic, ancient Sanskrit text the Mahabharata by incorporating classical dance, music and drama from the Krishna culture of India. The actors, dancers and musicians are students from around the world who tour the United States and Canada during school holidays, and the performance in Boise is one of only a couple the tour will make in the Intermountain West.

This is the 13th year that the student performers have traveled throughout North America. More than 50 students participate in the tour every year. For more information about the tour and production, visit www.krishna.com.

Boise State University is emerging as a metropolitan research university of distinction. This transformation is being powered by the university’s first comprehensive campaign to support its people, places and programs. That’s why the campaign to raise $175 million in private support is called Destination Distinction.
