Bonjour, Butterfly - Evergreen City Ballet
: Bonjour, Butterfly
SPRING 2012
Dear Friends,
I am delighted to welcome you to our Third Annual Family Performance Series.
We are thrilled to have Robin Preiss Glasser, illustrator of the Fancy Nancy book series and former professional ballerina at
Meydenbauer Theatre. Robin will be in the lobby during intermission at all of the Bellevue shows to autograph books and take a picture
with your little Fancy Nancies!
Please save the date on Saturday, April 28th for our 4th Annual Dinner Gala and Auction at Emerald Downs. This year’s theme is
1920’s Speakeasy. Enjoy an evening with 20s-era entertainment, great food, wine and wonderful items to bid on. All proceeds benefit
our Financial Aid and Dance ALIVE! outreach programs.
Dance ALIVE! has served over 10,000 underprivileged children in our public schools, at no cost to them or their schools. Dance ALIVE!
gives children, who would otherwise never have the opportunity, to learn about this art form. If you would like to help us continue to
bring this program to the youth in our community, please visit our information table in the lobby. You may also “Adopt-a-School” of your
choice for $500.00.
Wondering what to do with your kids this summer? Our Summer Dance Camp is a great choice! With different themes each week, your
child can dress up like Cinderella or Fancy Nancy and dance, craft and have fun. We provide a healthy snack, all activities and even
early drop-off options!
Evergreen City Ballet also offers top caliber, affordable, dance instruction for children and adults of all ages and skill level. Please take
a moment and visit our website to learn more about how to join our School, Company and our upcoming Summer Camps.

On behalf of all of us at Evergreen City Ballet, thank you for being here. We look forward to seeing you in the future.
Enjoy the show!
Sincerely,
Kevin Kaiser
Artistic / Executive Director

DANCING TO DISNEY
Choreography: Wade Walthall
Music: Various Artists
Mr. Disney captured the lighthearted spirit which children are drawn to. Dancing to Disney does just that
through dance to some of the most famous Disney songs brought to life in dances that are sure to delight!
Enjoy the colorful costumes and lights and watch your children become captured in the ballet.
THE SLEEPING BEAUTY FAIRIES
Choreography: Wade Walthall
Music: Peter Tchaikovsky
To introduce children to a more mature style of dance, The Sleeping Beauty Fairy variations have been chosen
to educate children through music, costume and dance. These variations take place during Princess Aurora’s
christening and each fairy bestows a gift to the royal child. Each variation shows different qualities and
temperament that are passed on to the baby princess.
FANCY NANCY: Bonjour, Butterfly
Choreography: Mary LeGere
Music: Claude Debussy, Peter Tchaikovsky, Darius Milhaud
Adapted from: Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly by Jane O’Conner
Costumes: Heather Garvin after Raleigh Dance Theatre and illustrations by Robin Preiss Glasser
Narration: Carole Marcotte
Set design: Vicki Armes, Thomas Mauney after Robin Preiss Glasser
Nancy thinks butterflies are simply exquisite. And that is why she can't wait for her friend Bree's Butterfly
Birthday. It's going to be the fanciest birthday party ever! But when Nancy finds out she can't go because her
grandparents' fiftieth anniversary party is the same day, she is furious. (Mad is way too plain for how she feels.)
Will Nancy be able to overcome her disappointment?
In this magical story from bestselling duo Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser, everybody's favorite fancy
girl gets a surprise lesson in fancy from her grandparents. Looks like fancy runs in the family after all!
Premiere: November 1, 2008 • Adapted from Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly.
