Sweep that special someone off of their feet and celebrate love with the Atlantic City Ballet as they present a Lover’s Program on Saturday, Feb. 12, at the Paul W. Schmidtchen Theatre at Lower Cape May Regional High School.
Artistic director and founder Phyllis Papa outdid herself with this performance, which is comprised of new and old works. Three new pieces will be featured, each showcasing love in its entire splendor.
Eclipse, choreographed by Papa is exciting and animated, taking place in the Nordic Lands. It explores the contemporary and celebrates the summer Solstice.
Love Royale, by Kristaps Kikulis, features college students from the ‘40s and ‘50s who find themselves struck by Cupid’s bow. The music for the piece is by French composer Yann Tiersen.
Last but certainly not least is Wait, by Paula Sloan, dealing with the concept of patience and the strength to find it.
Papa has choreographed over 30 different ballets for the Atlantic City Ballet. Comprised of 10 versatile dancers and 11 apprentices from around the world the Atlantic City Ballet is thrilling audiences across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York City.
Get a head start for Valentine's Day; bring that special someone, your friends or family and the performance will take care of the rest. Showtime is 3pm. Tickets are $27 for adults, $24 for seniors and $15 for children 12 and under. To purchase tickets visit acballet.org or call 804-1995.
The Atlantic City Ballet’s two newest productions, 'Caught Up in the Swing' and '7 Sins.' will be featured as double-header productions at three southern New Jersey locations — Rowan University’s Wilson Hall’s Pfleeger Theater (Saturday, March 17, starting 7pm); the Ocean First Theater in Manahawkin (Saturday, March 31, 7pm); and at Richard Stockton College’s Performing Arts Center (Thursday, April 19, 7pm). Both productions are family friendly and appropriate for all ages.
The Atlantic City Ballet is coming to Resorts Hotel and Casino’s Superstar Theater Friday and Sunday, Nov. 4 and 6, for two free shows.
“And it’s so nice not to be in competition with each other anymore. Nobody is judging us. We don’t have to worry about what [judges] Nigel or Mary [Murphy] are going to say. You can relax and just have some fun out there."
First of all, I didn’t even know there was an Atlantic City Theatre Guild (ACTG) and second of all, I found out that we have some really great African-American actors here.
“I think for a lot of people it’s like a kickoff to the holiday season, and an event people enjoy going to see each year,” says the A.C. Ballet's Phyllis Papa, who employs 22 professional dancers in the production, many of whom come from, and were formally ballet trained in, other countries.
On Thursday, Oct. 28, the Atlantic City Ballet returns to the Stockton PAC for 'Dracula,' a full three-act ballet from artistic director Phyllis Papa.
High culture doesn’t always get much time in the spotlight in the shadow of Atlantic City’s glitz and pop culture extravaganzas, but one of the most enduring, and endearing, arts groups in the southern New Jersey area remains the Atlantic City Ballet.
The Atlantic City Ballet holds a special fundraiser at the Atlantic City Country Club Sunday where the public gets to meet the ballet, dancers and all.
