WE REALLY HOPED THE SHOW WOULD GO ON. Tonight’s performance of Ballet on the Lake has been cancelled. It was a difficult decision but after closely monitoring fluctuating weather forecasts throughout the day, with rain expected during the Ballet on the Lake performance, it’s important to protect the safety of our dancers and the comfort of our patrons, vendors, and volunteers.

Swan Lake descended on Playhouse Square last night as part of Playhouse Square Summer Plaza Series. But rain cut our performance short, creating a safety hazard for dancers on pointe. Missed the Giselle promo code we shared? Just send us a DM!
