Peter and the Wolf" & "Graduation Ball"

NWDT is excited to present two ballets for this year's Spring program, both of which express three unique themes that showcase the versatility of our company: elegance, humor and charm. We are excited to bring these ballets to you on Saturday April 4th, 2020, for two performances at 2:00pm and 6:30pm at the PCC Sylvania Campus.

The first ballet, "Peter and the Wolf", brings this magical story to life with beautiful costumes and sets, and is choreographed by June Taylor-Dixon. Each character in this tale is represented by a corresponding orchestral instrument. With music composed by Prokofiev, it is a perennial favorite in the repertoire of many dance companies and we are delighted to bring it to you again!

Also included in the program, is a revival of David Lichine's crowd-pleasing comic ballet "Graduation Ball". It is choreographed to the lilting melodies of Johann Strauss II, and is staged by June Taylor-Dixon and Kim Schroeder. Set in Vienna in the 1840's, it tells the story of young cadets from a local military academy who visit a girls' boarding school for their graduation ball.

Our Spring Show is truly a must see for people of all ages! Ticket prices range from $13 -$20, and includes discounted rates for Youth and Seniors. For further information, please call 503-925-3263 or email office@nwdt.org.
