Once again taking on the challenge of producing the ominous and intimidating works of the great William Shakespeare brought forth a surprise and they were delighted at the fun and familiarity of the timeless masterpiece, the dance theater company said in a news release.
"The comical situation the characters in the ballet get themselves into are all too familiar circumstances to both the performers interpreting the role and their fellow cast members. 'Ah, man, you're being swerved!' is bantered about the rehearsal hall and Helena and Hermia are both shook when they're rejected by their lovers and they throw hands, as the Hot Springs Children's Dance Theatre Company's cast members work to interpret some of the all too familiar circumstances involved in the ballet," the release said.
The cast is comprised of young central Arkansas performers and professional guest artists from around the country.
General seating tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students, and preferred seating tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for students.
