  • About

    The Northwest Michigan Ballet Theatre is proud to present an original ballet by Artistic Director Thomas Morrell. Based on a magical collaboration between the doll and puppet maker Wendy Froud and the award-winning author Terri Windling.

    In a forest called the Old Oak Wood, a young faery named Sneezlewort wakes in his nest to the clear music of pipes and the warm smell of the sun. At dusk tonight, the Midsummer Eve festivities will begin, a time of potent magic in the faery realm. But just what will take place remains a mystery, for every year young Sneezle has fallen asleep. Something wonderful will happen, he knows… or perhaps something dreadful and strange, for the faeries have two sides to their natures.
