For the first time ever, Ballet in the Park will perform in five area locations. The artists of the Kansas City Ballet company will give audiences a glimpse into past and present repertory programs with performances designed for audiences from all over the metropolitan area. “Ballet in the Park kicks off our season with a program that includes a repertory favorite, Nine Sinatra Songs, choreographed by Twyla Tharp,” says William Whitener, artistic director of the Kansas City Ballet. “In addition, we will present La Folia which was created by company dancer Matthew Powell. Our informal outdoor performances reach a wide audience including some who are seeing ballet for the first time." Ballet in the Park has many exciting features for all to enjoy.

Several booths will be open showcasing costumes and props as well as providing opportunities to learn more about volunteer groups that support Kansas City Ballet.
