Dracula, a ballet to die for, by Peninsula Ballet Theatre (PBT) comes to the historic Fox Theater in downtown Redwood City, CA.  This premier performance by one of the oldest classical ballet companies in the bay area is a Halloween weekend treat.  This is artistic director Bruce Steivel’s premier of his contemporary ballet with themes of lust, love, and death.

In the days before Halloween and All Souls Day this performance doesn’t lay victim to super-hero costumes and piles of candy but is an extravagance of balletic prowess and absorbing story-telling in two acts.  Based on Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula, choreographed and directed by Mr. Steivel, brings the caché of European-trained principal dancers to Bay Area for this opulent ballet.

PBT is asking for your tax-deductible donations on Kickstarter to pay for production costs, set assets, and the crew committed to giving our peninsula audiences this exciting new production. We hope you’ll help us in making this performance possible.  And when we do, we hope you’ll come out and see our ballet to die for.

The PBT’s talented local cast is joined by Serbian principal dancers, Boyana Zegarac and Milos Marijan and returning, PBT’s own Nathan Cottom, a former PBT principal dancer and now also performing with the Serbian National Ballet.  The ballet will run on October 26, 27, and 28 at the Fox Theater in Redwood City, CA (tickets.foxrwc.com).
