Eugene Ballet Company: A Midsummer Night's Dream

In February, we’ll whisk you away from winter’s cold to the warm, lush green forests of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s adored comedy of love, magic, fairies, mixed up lovers, and the mischievous Puck comes alive in Toni Pimble’s delightful choreography set to Felix Mendelssohn’s spirited score performed by Orchestra Next.

A new EBC-commissioned ballet set on the Company by award winning choreographer Stephanie Martinez opens the program. Chicago-based Martinez, winner of the Joffrey Ballet’s 2014 “Winning Works: Choreographers of Color,” brings her acclaimed talent to Eugene, stretching the creative minds of our dancers and of you, our audience.
