The Centenary Stage Company will host the NJ Civic Youth Ballet’s double-feature afternoon of ballet with “The Tales of Beatrix Potter” and “Coppelia” on Sunday, June 5 at 4 PM in the Lackland Center for the Performing Arts on Grand Ave. in Hackettstown.
With a cornucopia of Potter’s timeless characters and tales, the company brings to life the story of Peter Rabbit and his great misfortune when Farmer McGregor catches him in the cabbage patch. The antic Sly Fox attempts to convince Jemima Puddle Duck to give him her eggs for breakfast, and a charming summer picnic of little mice is soon disrupted by two troublemakers who invade the basket of goodies, creating havoc and humor . The role of Sly Fox is danced byVitaly Verterich, formerly of the Russian Chamber Ballet Theater, Riverdance on Broadway, and the New Jersey Ballet Company as a soloist…..
