VENTANA BALLET PRESENTS:

LEAP!

FEBRUARY 23 - 25 | FIRST STREET STUDIO THEATER

Welcome to the whimsical world of the leapfrogs. Quirky and mischievous, these curious creatures only invite guests under their circusy big top to peek into their realm once every four years on Leap Day. The zany cast of misfits celebrates eccentricity and friendship in this cabaret-meets-Mad-Hatter-tea-party extravaganza. In 2020, Michael Barnes of the Statesman called LEAP! "exhilarating." Join the leapfrogs of Ventana Ballet for a glittering and wild ride, as they provoke you with the question: what will you do with your extra day?

It’s a full-on leap year celebration, sharing stories and traditions unique to the occurrence. The performances take place at First Street Studio, an East Austin performing-arts-workspace-turned-white-box-theater and home to Ventana Ballet and several other local professional dance companies. Guests are invited and encouraged to arrive when the doors open 30 minutes before each showtime. The pre-show reception encourages guests to indulge in complimentary refreshments. Inside the main studio, guest seating is provided surrounding the performance area where Ventana Ballet will perform. There will be two shows per night, and the show run time is approx. 1 hour
