Why Go: Imaginarium is Firebird Dance Theatre's newest original dance show, choreographed and directed by Lotta Lysaya Burton. What is it about? They ask you to imagine "an ordinary, nameless town. The town is quiet, orderly, and uneventful. Everyday the residents of the town go to work and their children go to school, dressed in black and gray. Every day is the same. The same, that is, until on one particular day … a traveling circus comes to town!" And then of course, everything changes. Why don't you and your children go and see just what impact the arrival of the circus will have?
