Pennsylvania Ballet Presents THE JUNGLE BOOK Tonight
Presented by the Pennsylvania Ballet, The Jungle Book is a completely original children's ballet production, from the choreography, to the music, to the sets and costumes. PA Ballet II's director Francis Veyette has brought together a truly unique group of talented individuals. Choreographer and creator Colby Damon works closely with composer John B. Hedges and set designer Sebastienne Mundheim to bring to life a one-of-a-kind story in which a young boy learns about life and morality from the world and creatures around him.
Starting one hour before performance, children are welcome to participate in creative, hands-on activities. ASL Interpretation & Audio description available. Running time 45 minutes + post-show Q&A.
Tickets are reserved seating. $15 Adult | $12 Senior | $5 Student TICKETS

The Pennsylvania Ballet has been committed to making dreams of dance come true for 53 years. When the Company was founded in 1963 by Barbara Weisberger, it was her dream, fostered and encouraged by George Balanchine, to not only bring the best in dance to Pennsylvania, but to develop local talent to become great dancers. Her dream has been fulfilled again and again over the decades as the Company has flourished, first under Ms. Wiesberger's direction, and then with a number of illustrious Artistic Directors including Benjamin Harkarvy, who had extensive experience in Europe; Robert Weiss and Christopher d'Amboise, both of whom danced for Mr. Balanchine at New York City Ballet; and Roy Kaiser who was a Pennsylvania Ballet dancer before becoming Artistic Director for nearly two decades. In addition to making dancing dreams come true on stage, the Pennsylvania Ballet organization strives to share the joy of dance throughout our community. Pennsylvania Ballet II, a trainee program for pre-professional dancers, also performs across the region, introducing new audiences to the beauty of dance.
