This week was a very busy week for FCBT! We performed for Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale…the event? ”No Strings Attached” a special banquet and evening where the church hosts hundreds of Broward county’s homeless men, women and children. Last year when we performed at the banquet one gentleman said it was as if he was watching poetry! We also performed for the Palm Beach County Literacy Coalition for an Adult Readers Banquet. All the attendees learned to read as adults and for many this is their only opportunity to see a ballet performance. Our final performance was for St. Marks School in Palm Beach Gardens. Performing some of our repertoire in schools is always a wonderful way to educate students about the art of classical ballet. It was an amazing week and we thoroughly enjoyed spreading the joy of dance throughout Palm Beach County!
Florida Classical Ballet Theatre presents Shakespeare’s, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 13th at 4pm.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.fcbt.org or by calling 561.630.8235.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is based on William Shakespeare’s entertaining story of mortals and fairies, adventures, misadventures, love and magic.
With themes of reality versus illusion, change versus constancy, the ballet displays love and all of its intricacies. It will take you to forests inhabited by King Oberon (ruler of the fairy kingdom), his queen, Titania, and the mischievous Puck. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
