SUMMARY:Ballet Magnificat! Anchored: The Pilgrim Story
DESCRIPTION:In honor of America’s 250th Anniversary\, Ballet Magnificat! brings Anchored: The Pilgrim Story to Massachusetts. Beautifully choreographed\, Anchored inspires audiences today with its portrayal of the courage and faith of the Pilgrims\, their perilous crossing\, and their friendship which developed with Native Americans. Their legacy of religious freedom\, individual responsibility\, and equality of all people helped prepare the way for America’s independence. \nPassion\, artistry\, heartfelt worship and technical excellence define Ballet Magnificat!’s performances. The Company artists have graced stages of theaters\, opera houses\, concert halls\, and church auditoriums throughout America and Europe with their powerful portrayal of redemptive themes\, inspired by true-life stories. Anchored: The Pilgrim Story is an original work created to honor the 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrims and their lasting legacy which informed our Founding Fathers and the Declaration of Independence. The libretto for the Pilgrim Ballet was carefully researched and written by a direct descendant of William Bradford\, and beautifully choreographed and set to music by Ballet Magnificat! The groundbreaking beliefs of the Pilgrims in freedom and equality of all people before God and under the law are vividly apparent in this dramatic and moving rendition of the Pilgrim story. \n\n  \nReserved seating – Accessible seating is marked on the map.\nSeats can be selected on the map by selecting “Choose Seats” below.\nTicket prices include all fees \nPremium: \nAdult: $55\nChild: $35\n\nStandard:\nAdult: $45\nChild: $30\n\nFor group sales\, email tom@firstloveworks.org \n\n \nMechanics Hall members use your promo code for 10% off your tickets! \n\nMechanics Hall & FirstLoveWorks are proud to donate a portion of tickets to this event to Vet Tix.
