“The Pirate and the Gypsy”Description
Ahoy Matey! All hands on deck! The pirate ship GoodSpeed is about to set sail for the high seas in search of treasure! Join Northeastern Ballet Theatre for “The Pirate and the Gypsy” on May 5 at 7pm and May 6 at 2pm at Oyster River High School to embark on this adventure!
This original Edra Toth ballet was last seen in 2009 and captured the imaginations and hearts of the public in both the Lakes Region and Seacoast areas of New Hampshire. Complete with swashbuckling pirates with real swordplay, a treasure map, beautiful gypsies, a pirate ship, and mermaids, this ballet is not to be missed! Appropriate for all ages, this action-packed production is full of family fun.
Dancers were trained in fencing by the Seacoast Fencing Club in Rochester, NH. Featuring Spencer Keith, principal dancer for Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre in Boston as the Good Pirate, Captain Jack Skye, and Brewster Academy’s Dance Department head, John Ling, as Barbarosa, the Bad Pirate, the action never stops as these two and their crews go head-to-head in an attempt to control the treasure guarded by mermaids. Also, featured in this production is Assaf Benchetrit, Assistant Professor of Dance at the University of New Hampshire, who helps to guard the treasure.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $17.50 for seniors and students and children under 12, and $60 for a family of 4 and are available at www.northeasternballet.org/performances, by calling (603)834-8834 and at the door.
Northeastern Ballet Theatre is New Hampshire’s premier ballet company and training school offering classical ballet training at their studios in Dover (at the McConnell Center) and in Wolfeboro. Northeastern Ballet Theatre (NBT) is the artistic vision and passion of its founder Edra Toth, former prima ballerina for Boston Ballet Company, who has built a life teaching children and adults the joy of dance. It is the philosophy of NBT that ballet is an art form. Within a positive and encouraging atmosphere, dancers are taught to develop their unique artistic abilities. Northeastern Ballet Theatre is not a competition or recital-driven school. Our classical ballet classes focus on technique for the entire year, and there are many opportunities for performance experience with NBT including an annual production of The Nutcracker.
