Perspectives


Join us for “Perspectives” at the Hammer2 Gallery. Located on the 2nd floor of the Hammer Theatre, the Hammer2 Gallery features a rotating display of artwork by San José State University alumni. It will be a site to exhibit artists’ work, support artists financially through art sales, as well as foster young artists’ work. Moreover, the gallery will provide a unique opportunity to marry the visual and performing arts and to provide exposure to these artists to an audience that may not normally frequent an art gallery.

Our Town


Step into the timeless world of Our Town, where the simplicity of life in Grover’s Corners becomes a profound exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time. Inspired by the recent Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece, this production brings a fresh, invigorating energy to this classic, with a bold new staging that reminds us how deeply interconnected we all are, no matter the era. Don’t miss the chance to witness the power of this beloved play as it resonates with audiences in ways never before imagined.
