2021-22 Season Events
Saturday, May 28, 2022: A MAGICAL MIDSUMMER
Feuding fairy kingdoms, quarreling couples, and a troupe of bumbling actors become entangled in a magical forest and at the center of it all: a mischievous elf named Puck. Come along as we explore George Balanchine’s beloved ballet inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In this fun-filled, hour-long program you’ll see excerpts from this enchanting ballet and hear from the artists who perform it.
