Wichita Falls Ballet takes stage for first time since COVID
The Wichita Falls Ballet Theatre (WFBT) is set to have their first live public performance since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic last spring.
Their first show back will be “Cinderella,” which will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 8, at Memorial Auditorium.
The full-length performance will feature WFBT company dancers along with Sam Jones, a guest artist from the Oklahoma City Ballet.
“I feel it is the beginning of our first steps as a company trying to return towards some sense normalcy,” said Executive Director Valentine Liberatore. “After a year and a half of not dancing on that big stage, I know the company dancers will be thrilled to be back in the limelight. I personally can’t wait to see the show this weekend, and I think our audience will feel their joy as they’re returning to the stage.”
