These performances are practically perfect in every way.
Ballet Arkansas has something for everyone with two incredible performances. The troupe will combine the drama of classical ballet with the electricity of contemporary dance in its second winter production, “Fire & Rain.” And, for one performance only, Ballet Arkansas will bring Mary Poppins to life.
“Fire & Rain” ties together the fire and intensity of the “Don Quixote Suite” and the iconic “Romeo and Juliet” balcony scene into one passionate performance. The performance will also feature a tribute to the music of James Taylor, choreographed by Ballet Arkansas’ executive and artistic director Michael Fothergill.
“Fire & Rain” will be performed: Thursday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.; Friday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 16 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. The show will take place at the UA Pulaski Tech Center for Humanities and Arts (CHARTS Theater) in North Little Rock.
Ballet Arkansas’ children’s series performance of “Mary Poppins” will be a highly interactive experience with only one performance on Feb. 17 at noon. Children will be invited on stage to engage in song and dance with Mary herself. Guests will be invited to participate in crafts before the show and meet the characters after the performance.
Tickets for “Fire & Rain” start at $15 and are available here. Tickets for “Mary Poppins” start at $10 and are available here. For more info about the performances or Ballet Arkansas’ 40th Anniversary Season, head to the Ballet Arkansas website.
