Fairy Rhymes

American Repertory Ballet (ARB) presents Fairy Rhymes, a delightful production for the whole family! With choreography by Artistic Director Samantha Dunster and an original score by Kermit Poling, join the 3 Little Kittens as they travel through Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales to find their lost mittens. These cute furry friends find themselves in beautiful palaces, deep into forests, climbing hills, and even in other people’s homes! Along the way, they meet classic characters such as Jack and Jill and the Old Lady in the Shoe, as well as beloved personalities such as Cinderella, Prince Charming, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. With each step they take, and with help from all the different people they meet, the Kittens gradually find their mittens and make amazing friends along the way. Will the Kittens also get their pie? Come on this magical journey to find out!
