A varied repertoire of contemporary ballets by the nation’s most sought-after choreographers includes the world premiere of Brian Reeder’s percussive neo-classical ode to the joy of movement, "Paisiello Variations," as well as newly commissioned works by Melissa Barak and Lillian Barbeito. This opening program of the 2008-2009 season also boasts Molly Lynch’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream," a bold updated rendition of Shakespeare’s enchanting classic… complete with Puck magically soaring high above the stage!
