2009 Spring Gala presents Coppélia
The Eastern Shore Ballet Theater, Inc. hopes you were able to see and enjoy the classical ballet Coppelia on Saturday, March 21st and 22nd in the Wicomico High School Auditorium in Salisbury, Maryland. Many said they enjoyed the performances.
Synopsis: Dr Coppélius, the toymaker, has created the lifelike Coppélia doll and wishes for nothing more than to bring her to life. He imagines that his dream has finally come true, but he has merely been caught up in a lovers' tiff. Love triumphs over all in this comedy of mistaken identity and the finale is a breathtaking celebration of the lovers' marriage.
Ticket prices are $15.00 for adults and $10.00 for students and seniors. Tickets can be ordered by phone at 410-742-3316, or purchased at PNC Bank and Bank of Delmarva locations, the Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council in downtown Salisbury, and Dance Wear, Etc. in the Court Plaza shopping center.
ESBT advocates the Arts in Annapolis
Betty Webster and Nicole Brushmiller represented ESBT recently at the Maryland Arts Day on February 10th in Annapolis, MD. Maryland Citizens for the Arts spoke out for the Arts in Maryland. The arts are facing a potentially large cut of 36% of its state funding. This would be the largest cut ever made to Maryland State Arts Council. The effects from this dramatic cut can not only falter arts organizations but may cause them to fail. Small organizations like ESBT highly depend on our funding from local and state grants. We urge all arts supporters to contact their state representatives!
