At the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts at Pepperdine University, we spend a lot of time asking ourselves “What makes a good show?” Selecting the right artists is key—musicians, dancers, and performers with incredible talent and relentless determination to perfect their craft. It is an honor to share these artists with you as we announce our performances and museum exhibitions.
