Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center welcomes the return of American Ballet Theatre (ABT), America?s National Ballet Company®, led by Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie, to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, July 16-19, with its full-evening production of Sir Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet. MacMillan's masterful interpretation of Shakespeare's enduring romantic tragedy entered American Ballet Theatre?s repertoire in 1985 and has since become one of the Company?s signature productions. Against the sumptuous setting of Renaissance Italy, MacMillan weaves a dance tapestry rich in character nuance and sensuality, and Sergei Prokofiev's stirring music underscores the lyric beauty and passion of this beloved ballet's star-crossed lovers.

Twin Cities' Press Heralds the Arrival of This Eight-Time Tony Award-Winner!
Winner of eight 2007 Tony Awards, Spring Awakening is set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial late 19th century Germany and tells the timeless story of teenage self-discovery and budding sexuality as seen through the eyes of three teenagers. Based on the infamous 1891 Frank Wedekind play, this groundbreaking musical features an electrifying score by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater who also wrote the book, direction by Michael Mayer and choreography by the award-winning Bill T. Jones. Haunting and provocative, Spring Awakening celebrates the unforgettable journey into adulthood with a power, a poignancy and a passion you will never forget.
Spring Awakening is an important piece of theatre but may not be for all audiences. A powerful coming of age story, it contains mature themes, sexual situations, brief partial nudity and explicit language.
