Ballet Theatre of Toledo presents “The Great Pancake Escape,” a humorous and fun-filled ballet about a magician who accidentally mixes up his magic spells with a recipe for pancakes. Performances are March 22 at 7 pm and March 23 at 2 pm at the Franciscan Center, Lourdes University. A student show will be held on March 22 at 10 am.
This show features Toledo magician, Andrew Martin, jazz musicians including composer David Jex, and Ballet Theatre of Toledo dancers, with choreography by Artistic Director Nigel Burgoine. Local TV personality Tony Geftos of 13abc will narrate the book written by author Paul Many.
As a special treat, Toledo’s Scramblers Restaurants are providing vouchers for a free order of pancakes to everyone that attends the performances.
“Special thanks to Donna Bogan for her continued support of the arts and children in our community, the Ohio Arts Council, The Arts Commission, City of Toledo, and Lucas County Commissioners for support,” noted Burgoine.
