About this Event

Sweet Sorrow®, A Zombie Ballet – An Invitation

Leigh Purtill Ballet Company (LPBC) is excited to tell you about a wonderful event this October— “Sweet Sorrow®, A Zombie Ballet.”

Presented by LPBC since 2017, “Sweet Sorrow, A Zombie Ballet,” was created by Artistic Director Leigh Purtill for those who have a dark romantic soul and an intense desire to experience the underworld. It was inspired by a novel Leigh wrote as a sequel to Shakespeare's “Romeo & Juliet.”

On October 16th and 17th, “Sweet Sorrow, A Zombie Ballet”, will be presented at the Madrid Theater in Canoga Park and will include live on-stage performances with short films featuring LPBC company dancers from around the world. Together, they’ll take you back to the funeral of the star-crossed lovers and tell you the rest of the story. You’ll follow Juliet’s cousin Rosaline as she encounters lost souls, vampires, zombies, werewolves, a mighty Raven Queen and more.

Join us for our live performance in the theatre or for a special recording of the performance that will stream on Halloween weekend. If you want to enjoy Sweet Sorrow in both formats, purchase tickets for the live performance and the streaming event!

LPBC strives to focus on projects that draw more people to the art form and to truly make “Ballet for Everyone.” The pre-Halloween production offers ballet fans and non-fans alike a compelling reason to think of ballet in October and to get ballet on everyone’s mind before the traditional, nutty season begins.

Echoing the “Ballet for Everyone” philosophy, and in response to the new reality imposed by Covid-19, the company has expanded to include remote performers from around the planet.

PLEASE NOTE: Per LA County safety regulations, all attendees in your party must be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination at entry. Masks must be worn by all attendees at all times while in the theatre. Unfortunately, children 12 and under are not allowed into the theatre since they are not eligible for vaccination.
