Leap into a world of imagination with RECESS!, State Street Ballet’s fun-filled, family program featuring three delightful works. Alexei Kremnev’s Carnival of the Animals takes audiences on a charming zoo adventure, while Jerome Robbins’ Interplay bursts with playground energy. Closing the program is a new contemporary work by Kassandra Taylor Newberry bringing the world of video games to life. Full of creativity, humor, and charm, RECESS! is pure joy for kids and kids-at-heart!
