The
Sinag-Tala is one of the oldest continually performing ethnic-folk dance troupes in the metro. Since 1972, its founders have passed along traditions, trained performers and preserved Filipino culture. The 40th anniversary celebration centers on a two-hour recital, beginning at 8 p.m., titled "Hiyas (Jewels): Shimmering Facets of Philippine Culture." It's at the Folly Theater (300 West 12th Street, 816-474-4444). For tickets ($15 or $25), call the Folly box office or see
