Coastal Ballet Academy to present Firebird on May 20-21 in Orange Beach

The Coastal Ballet Academy, in cooperation with the City of Orange Beach, will present Firebird on May 21-22 at the Orange Beach Performing Arts Center. 

The Tale of the Firebird will be performed at 6 p.m. Friday, May 20 and at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21. General admission tickets are $25 per adult, $10 for children ages 4-17, and free for children 3 and younger.

"The Firebird ballet tells the story of Prince Ivan, who finds the magical Firebird in the forest garden eating golden apples and captures her. However, he releases her when she offers him one of her enchanted feathers. The Firebird warns Prince Ivan that he's near the castle of the evil sorcerer. The next morning, while hiding in the garden, Prince Ivan watches the captured princesses enter the garden and dance a beautiful forest ballet. He falls in love with one of them and decides to rescue them.

There's a problem, however; the garden's full of minions, because the evil sorcerer turns anyone into minions who tries to rescue the princesses. Regardless, Prince Ivan confronts the sorcerer and uses the Firebird's feather to prevent becoming a part of the enchanted forest. Prince Ivan and the Firebird break the spell, the princesses are free, the minions return to life, and Prince Ivan marries his bride!"

The Performing Arts Center is at 23908 Canal Road, adjacent to Orange Beach Middle / High School.
