Roxey Ballet to Present CINDERELLA & More This Spring

Spring is (almost) in the air and Roxey Ballet is ready with a fresh lineup of performances that offers something for everyone. From the company that has been described as being "all about the unexpected" comes productions celebrating the triumph over breast cancer, nostalgia for the 80s, the classic story of Cinderella, and some good old- fashioned love and romance.

The C-Word: Stories of Triumph Over Breast Cancer

Roxey Ballet's Healing Arts Initiative presents an exploration of the journeys of women who were diagnosed, treated, and survived various stages of breast cancer in its production of The C Word: Personal Stories of Triumph Over Breast Cancer. Through integrative, multimedia performances comes a celebration of the strength of these survivors through the power of art and nature and their healing effects. The sharing of their personal, physical, and emotional trials, has led these women to find support from their fellow survivors, families and friends, and has taught them to embrace the powerful transformation this disease has made on their lives, bodies, and spirits. Each performance will be as unique as the empowering story it represents, but their shared triumphs will be a story that brings us all together.

The C Word: Personal Stories of Triumph Over Breast Cancer, will be performed on Saturday, April 1st at 7 pm at Mill Ballet, 46 N Sugan Rd, New Hope, PA 18938. Tickets and more information are available at roxeyballet.org/cword.
