Ballet Northwest

Ballet Northwest is excited to bring Eugene Ballet to Olympia to present “Mowgli – The Jungle Book Ballet” featuring professional dancers plus local dancers. Experience the spirited adventures of Mowgli as he befriends and grows up with Baloo the Bear, and battles the larger-than-life Shere Khan the Tiger and Kaa the Snake. An exotic retelling of Rudyard Kipling’s stories enjoyed by all ages, with fanciful costumes, masks, sets and world music that creates the magic of young Mowgli’s life in the jungle. Tickets are available at www.washingtoncenter.org/bnw.
