This performance was originally scheduled for December at the Paradise Performing Arts Center. Northern California Ballet's Paradise studio was lost in the Camp Fire, and with it went everything they had prepared for this show. In six short weeks, they have recreated everything including sets, costumes, and props. This production is truly a team effort and what can happen when old and new friends work together.

"Walk down to the south side of the diversion pool and cross a couple of streams before you encounter an old olive orchard around a secluded pond. Trains used to rumble through on the rail bed that damned up the pond, and now you can see how nature reclaimed the landscape." Be sure to get there early. They leave at 9 AM on the dot.
