Celebrate ten seasons of innovative storytelling and breathtaking dance with Ballet 5:8.
In honor of their 10th Anniversary, Ballet 5:8 will bring several audience favorite works from their archives back to the stage for special encore celebrations! Drawing inspiration from cultural luminaries such as Makoto Fujimura, Gwendolyn Brooks and C.S. Lewis, Slager’s ballets speak to the present moment with incisive wit and clarity. With music ranging from Vivaldi to Gorecke to Rachmaninoff, this evening of ballet will inspire and delight both the seasoned balletomane and the first time audience member.
Enjoy a stunning performance featuring repertoire from the past nine seasons of Ballet 5:8, and a world premiere of Julianna Rubio Slager’s newest work, Toda Raba.
Pius XI Choirs present a program of music from some of the most famous animated films of all time! Join us in our Magical Kingdom of voices – you will want to sing along!

When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
