On November 3-4, The Alabama Dance Theatre presented spectacular performances of “Dracula,” a ballet to die for, and “Mistletoe” featuring “Favorite Dances of Christmas,” all accompanied by full houses, thunderous applause, and standing ovations. The night before, a special “sneak peak” production and reception was held for military and first responders.
Jennifer Riley and her talented team along with Margaret Ann Selman, Janie Alford, Amy Chapman and Laura Leigh Wright enjoyed creating the frightfully elegant event and the delicious food was catered by Jenny Weller. Lt. General Anthony Cotton, Commander & President Air War College and Tonya Terry of WSFA, joined Artistic Director Kitty Seale and Development Director Pamela Swan on-stage to welcome guests and thank ADT sponsors.
ADT performed two special performances on Friday of “Dracula” choreographed by Sara Sanford and “Mistletoe” choreographed by Kitty Seale, Janie Alford and Sara Sanford, to large enthusiastic audiences of school children. One public performance of “Mistletoe” was presented on Saturday afternoon to a lively, young audience. Audience favorites were Santa Clause, Rudolph and eight gorgeous reindeer in “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” and a very large and adorable Hippopotamus, who stole the show, in “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.”
ADT’s annual spring performance will premiere an all new, full length “Beauty and the Beast” March 1-3, 2019, at the Davis Theater. For information on classes, call 334-625-2590 or visit www.alabamadancetheatre.com.
