Collaboration continues to be in the air in the Louisville arts community. This time around it's not just that Kentucky Shakespeare's community weeks embrace both a musical and ballet, but that the Louisville Ballet week features a brand new work, William's Folly, which brings together a selection of Shakespeare's sonnets, original live music and new choreography. What a combination!

The Louisville Ballet brings to stage the timeless tale of Shakespeare's two young star-crossed lovers torn apart by a bitter feud in Romeo & Juliet. This rich adaptation of one of the most famous of romantic ballets comes to life in a beautiful and powerful rendition of the world's best-known love story. The production features music by Sergei Prokofiev and choreography by Alun Jones. It will be performed tonight, March 1 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, March 2 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. in The Kentucky Center's Whitney Hall.
