'rockin' in your seats! Considered Michigan's premier contemporary dance company, EDE has achieved significant critical acclaim as well as enthusiastic audience support. Playful, humorous, and wonderfully theatrical, three of the pieces will feature area dance students!

The Midland is proud to present
BalletMet's Alice in Wonderland on March 21, 2009. Relish the Nonsense and follow Alice down the rabbit hole into a delightfully nonsensical world where tea with the Hatter, croquet with the Queen and square-dancing with lobsters is simply par for the course. Whether you are big or
small -- or sometimes you're both -- you'll find that logic is no match for madness among the denizens of Wonderland! The production is complete with actors providing narration throughout this story ballet. Choreography by Gerard Charles and script by Steven Anderson.
