CITY BALLET OF LOS ANGELES
CBLA presents work that is theatrical and cutting edge; from a classical perspective, working with music from J.S. Bach to John Coltrane. We also incorporate actors to tell the stories in a more in depth way. CBLA is building a new audience and company that reflects an American version of this art form, presenting new ballets that touch our hearts & souls.
Los Angeles the great melting pot.

1945 Los Angeles during WWII, Mrs Shook is throwing her annual holiday party for the Los Angeles Orphanage . This is where Mrs. Shook was introduced to Maria, by a very mysterious woman: Mrs. Taubes, and asked if she would take her on as a apprentice house keeper. She was to old too stay with the Orphanage and to young to be on her own. This year will be even more exciting as Jim will be home from the war.
