The Newtown Centre of Classical Ballet & Voice is set to present its annual spring ballet on Sunday, May 21, at noon and 3 pm, at Edmond Town Hall, 45 Main Street.

Free to the public, this year’s presentation is the comedic ballet Coppelia and the Toy Shop.

The ballet centers upon a girl and her suitor who are quickly at odds with one another when the girl catches him blowing kisses to a mysterious girl reading in the window of the toymaker’s home. The jealous girlfriend decides to sneak into the house at night after many an attempt of befriending the girl goes unacknowledged.

She and her friends discover that the girl is in fact a doll and have a great laugh over the whole thing while also winding up all the other dolls in the toy shop and watching them dance. The ballet concludes with forgiveness and an engagement between the two young lovers and the town celebrating a festival in honor of the new town bell.

The studio is set to say goodbye to three graduating seniors this season: Noelle Fogal and Jennifer Dushi of Newtown High School who are tandem playing the leads, Coppelia (the doll) and Dr Coppelius (the toymaker) at the two opposite performance times as well as Grayce Amos of Wooster School in Danbury who plays Swanhilda (the girl engaged to be married).

Returning as the male lead is Noel Bernard of Bridgeport, who just finished his junior year at Fordham University in the Bronx.

Doors will open 25 minutes before each performance. Run time for the show is approximately 90 minutes, with a 10-minute intermission.
