The Sleeping Beauty

Congraulations on fantastic performances on June 3rd at the Palace Theater. This year's ballet was magical. We thank our guest artists, choreographer Peter Anastos, and dancers Caitlin Kirschenbaum and Daniel Ulbricht for sharing their talent with our students and audience. Over 1200 school children were spellbound at the morning performance. The evening performance began with a donor reception and ended with a fun cast party for dancers, their families, and friends.
