MADISON - Kierstyn, Quentin and Spencer Vestin, children of Paula and Chris Vestin, and Jessica Schmitt, daughter of Julie and Peter Schmitt, are members of Dance Wisconsin and will perform in Dance Wisconsin's presentation of "The Story of Peter Rabbit and Friends Ballet" at 2 p.m. March 11 in the Mitby Theater at Madison College/Truax Field.
The tales by Beatrix Potter are brought to life through music and dance and are perfect for young children and families, with new choreography, costumes and characters to enhance the repertoire of Dance Wisconsin. Original music is by the late David Lewis Crosby, former Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra conductor. Originally performed in 1983, this updated version has the added tale "The Tale of Two Bad Mice" choreographed by Chelsey Bradley.
Find out what happens when two mice get loose in the doll house of Winefred and are disappointed to find the table full of food is made of porcelain.
Then watch the antics of Tom Kitten and his sisters Moppet and Mittens who get into mischief while waiting for fine company to arrive.
Finally, enjoy the rambunctious Peter Rabbit as he gets loose in the live garden of Mr. McGregor. While being chased, Peter loses his clothes and must return to find them with the assistance of his cousin Benjamin Bunny.
