Do not wear your costumes to the theatre, please change in your assigned dressing room. After leaving your child backstage, please return to the theatre to enjoy the show. Their teacher will meet them backstage with the chaperone and escort the children on and off the stage. The chaperone will stay with the children and watch them perform in the wings. After their dance, the parent in charge will escort them to the dressing rooms for parent pick up. Please pick up your child when they are done dancing, not at the end of the show. After you have picked up your child, take them back into the theatre so that they may enjoy the other dances.

Menlowe Ballet Enlightens with ILLUME May 11-13, 2018
This riveting program features The Lady with the Lamp, choreographed by Artistic Director Michael Lowe and Associate Artistic Director Sarah-Jane Measor, Dennis Nahat’s Pas de Cinq from Swan Lake, and Donald McKayle’s Crossing the Rubicon: Passing the Point of No Return.
The world premiere of The Lady with the Lamp continues Menlowe’s commitment to honoring the spirit and accomplishments of women from history who have touched the world with courage. The ballet is a poignant tribute to the ground-breaking contributions of Florence Nightingale, a visionary who set the standard for modern medical care and revolutionized the nursing profession.
In this dazzling display of classical technique, an excerpt from Dennis Nahat’s brilliant full-length Swan Lake, Pas de Cinq showcases four princesses vying for the heart of Prince Siegfried.
Described as a work that touches the soul and pierces the heart, Crossing the Rubicon: Passing the Point of No Return, is inspired by the current plight of Syrian refugees. The ballet offers a visceral glimpse into the experience of displaced people grieving the loss of home and their journey towards an unknown destination.
Special pricing for MPAD families: $5 off each ticket when using discount code MPAD at checkout: www.menloweballet.org or by calling 800-595-4TIX (4849).
