Western Arkansas Ballet welcomes you to explore the world of Snow White. This ballet is an adaptation of the Grimm Brothers fairy tale about poison apples and magical mirrors with original choreography by Jared A. Mesa, WAB Artistic Director. Follow Snow White’s journey as she escapes the Evil Queen’s castle, traverses the darkness and meets the Dwarves, who aid her in her adventure. A Midsummer Night’s Dream journeys into the fairy forest where the course of love does not run smooth as Shakespeare’s beloved comedy unfolds to Felix Mendelssohn’s iconic score. The ballet tells the tale of feuding fairy royalty, a quartet of magically confused human lovers, ragtag traveling theatre troupe and an impish mischief-maker named Puck. The cast of local children is joined by Nicholas C. Mesa, professional dancer, from Yuma, Arizona. Get your tickets today!
