Join us for an endearing story-based ballet of a young housemaid’s determined belief in happiness and the transforming power of love. Ballet Wichita’s production is re-imagined in 1920s Vienna, inside the “Glass Slipper Cafe.” Set to the music of Johann Strauss, Jr., Artistic Director’s Alex Ossadnik’s three-part fairy tale ballet is humorous, charming, and entertaining enough for audiences of all ages.
A slightly reduced version can be seen for free in parks around Wichita, during our Ballet in the Park series.

Pursuit – it’s a big word and a bigger idea. It speaks to your desires and aspirations: your life’s work, and so much more. We’re tackling this large idea – pursuit – with some of the most creative thinkers in Wichita. We’ll be showcasing their work with our dancers on the runway in a first ever collaborative project we’re calling “Runway PURSUIT”.
Choreographed by Ballet Wichita’s Artistic Director, Alex Ossadnik, the show includes Art & Dinner, Dance, High Fashion, Original Music, & Great Company. It’s about celebrating the incredibly inspired, creative work happening in Wichita in one of the best places in town to have a great time.
The show features the incomparable work of the design team at the Eric Fisher Salon and the EF Academy; the amazing dresses by Alicia Ybarra (Vanya Designs) and Tonya Jones (Miss Diva Clothing), music by Torin Anderson and endlessly talented Ballet Wichita dancers.
