24/25 season
THE MIGHTY CASEY, MARCH 21-23, 2025: Casey and the Mudville Nine are ready to knock this ballet out of the park! Based on the poems Casey at the Bat and Casey- Twenty Years Later (created by Lisa De Ribere for Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre), this baseball ballet is a first for Spartanburg. We will sing favorites such as “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and “Sweet Caroline,” cheer on the team, and watch a stage filled with baseball lovers. Hey Spartanburg, Let’s Play Ball! This ballet is dedicated to the opening of the new MiLB Field and the hometown fans who will gather at the park for generations to come. Directed by Lona Gomez.
