Fueled by revenge and passion, the diabolically charming step-siblings place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower their incoming headmaster’s daughter, Annette Hargrove.

The program will also include our ecstatic Unending , the wildest work in our repertoire, with choreography by Michele Brangwem, music by Tim Hagans, and movement and music created in the moment by all performers.
