Mirette
a musical
February 22-24, 29, March 1-2, 2008
Directed by Becky Fox & Stephanie Naumoff
Choreographed by Katie Solina
Set in 1890s Paris,
Mirette tells of the most unusual friendship between a
strong-willed ten year-old girl and a jaded tightrope
walker. Young Mirette is delighted when she discovers her
mother's grumpy new boarder is none other than the Great
Bellini, whose glorious tightrope-walking days were cut
short when he lost his nerve. Demonstrating an innate
talent for balancing, she convinces the reluctant Bellini -
against her mother's wishes - to teach her his craft. But
when Bellini, determined not to disappoint the girl, stages
a comeback performance only to find himself paralyzed with
fear, it is Mirette who must climb the wire and help him
regain his courage.
