PERFORMANCES / EVENTS
********************************************
Ballet Austin's Cinderella (Austin), May 8 - 10
Stephen Mills first brought this treasured fairytale to life in 1997 with a luscious score from Glazunov compiled especially for this ballet. Directly from the pages of the enduring tale, Cinderella delights audiences with the beauty and majesty of classical ballet, wrapped in the promise of "happily ever after," and generously sprinkled with a wonderful dose of humor. Complete with a fairy Godmother, a handsome prince and an unforgettable ball, the magnificent staging, music and costumes - make this production a delight for all ages. Choreography by Stephen Mills; music by Alexander Glazunov. Musical accompaniment by The Austin Symphony Orchestra. The Long Center for the Performing Arts, 701 West Riverside Drive (at the corner of S. 1st Street). www.balletaustin.org/

Visions of a Bible, May 16, 8 p.m.
Savion Glover's thrilling new show is called Visions Of A Bible. Not the Bible, a bible. Although Lori Ann Hunter's rich gospel voice hymns God and Jesus, Glover's dancing also honors the living and departed saints of tap—Saint Steve, Saint Honi, Saint Gregory, and their kin—paying homage not just by evoking them, but by teasing their steps into higher speeds, denser textures, and surprising variations. Carver Community Cultural Center, 226 N. Hackberry. Tickets are $31/41; please call box office to purchase: (210) 207-2234.
