Riveting choreography, amazing costumes, and professional sets will enchant audience members of all ages.
Set to graduate in May, Heather Jolley will dance as Anastasia in her final role with Roswell Dance Theatre after many years on stage in The Nutcracker, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty and many other classical and original works. MHS junior Lillie Jones will perform the supporting role of Countess Lily, and freshman Caroline Keene will dance as a vital member of the corps de ballet in the show's many ensemble numbers.
