Programming and community engagement are at the core of our strategy.  Audiences are introduced to "ballet mime"- the non-verbal art of storytelling. Through the adaptation of modernized folk tales and literature, ORB's performances provide both real and fictional role models. All are rich with relatable characters who learn valuable moral lessons and overcome challenges with humor and personal growth. Each full length performance uses colorful sets, lighting and inspiring music, giving audiences a dazzling tapestry for the senses right here in our own venues.
