ootlight Dance Centre will present an interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Nightingale,” Friday and Saturday, May 8-9 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. in the Wood River High School Performing
Arts Theater at the Community Campus, Hailey. Two hundred young dancers will take the stage. There has never been any music composed specifically for “The Nightingale,” so director Hilarie Neely has searched for traditional Chinese music that fits the storyline. The dance show
follows the plot of the classic fairytale and showcases young local talent. “When the Empress reads about this amazing nightingale that she’s never seen or heard, she sends out a crew to search the countryside to find it and bring it back to her,” Neely said. “This fairytale is very much
about life; people get caught up in possessions and they don’t see that there’s beauty around them ~ you don’t have to possess it.” The production will feature graduating seniors Liza Buell as the Nightingale and Lynnlea Strickland as the Empress. “They’re both very excit-
ed about this production,” Neely said. “They’re both amazing, strong dancers. Liza’s been dancing with us since she was in kindergarten. I did this production 12 years ago and she was a little frog. Now, she’s coming full circle as the lead.” Also featured are MaliCONTINUED ON PAGE 7
