Headlining this vibrant mixed bill is a co-production with The Joffrey Ballet: Dani Rowe’s Princess and the Pea, a playful and rebellious twist on a classic tale. In the rigid world of Pea Town, where only peas are allowed, one brave girl dares to challenge the iron rule of a spoiled Princess. With wit, determination, and an unexpected ally, she embarks on a battle of wills that just might change everything.

Also on the program is George Balanchine's dazzling and dynamic Rubies and Dani Rowe's compelling UnSaid.
