The commUNITY Show is a performance arts showcase that emphasizes and promotes diversity of people, beliefs, and cultures. We firmly believe that art should not merely instruct but should inspire, not merely educate but express. NUnite will give Northwestern students the opportunity to come together to celebrate the diversity within and outside of our community, learn about each other, and open our eyes to the wide spectrum of talent we have on our campus.
