Ballet Theatre of Maryland Storybook Theatre Sunday, April 13, 2014 at noon
Storybook Theatre is Ballet Theatre of Maryland’s exploration of literature and history through the language of dance. Young audiences will experience a literary classic like Alice in Wonderland in a nutshell, where they will embark on Alice’s adventures in Wonderland meeting such whimsical characters as the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit. Children will also romp through time where they will engage in swashbuckling sword fights with colonial pirates, and follow the escapades of Crimson Kate and her young stowaway friend on their quest to defend Kent Island and discover the location of Claiborne’s hidden pirate treasure. This pocket version of Pirates of the Chesapeake is a comedic spoof based on the actual acts of piracy on the Chesapeake Bay in early 17th century Colonial America. Storybook Theatre will delight boys and girls as they gain “Access to the Classics” through literature, history and the magic of dance.
