CHILDREN’S SWAN LAKE
May 23 sees another original
production from the wonderful Children’s Center for Dance Education with “The
Children’s Swan Lake” at The Centre. Each of the CCDE’s performances are
specially crafted for young audiences, with an abbreviated performance time to
distill the best and most exciting parts into a program easily “digestible” for
kiddos. The dancers themselves are the stars, and represent a wide range of
ages, cultures and backgrounds; if your children have never had an opportunity
to see a CCDE show, “The Children’s Swan Lake” would make a perfect initiation.
Seats are $10 and are available through Ticketmaster –
their outlets and online at ticketmaster.com and by phone at 800-745-3000.
Tickets are also available at the Roberts Stadium and Centre box offices.
