For over 15 years, Verb Ballets has brought the beauty of dance to the Cain Park stage hosting this special annual tradition for residents. The performance is free as a gift to the community from Cleveland Heights residents and Verb Ballets’ board members, James D. Graham and David M. Dusek.

Verb presents a powerful new work, Anti/gone, by award-wining choreographer, Tommie-Waheed Evans. This contemporary ballet situates ancient archetypes between action and fate, bringing the story to life with an electrifying, original score by composer Greg Smith and costumes created by runway designer Philista Marie Mills.

The performance is FREE. No tickets are required for entrance. Registration is encouraged to anticipate the guests. Gates will open at 7:00pm and seating is general admission. Entrances are located at Superior, Lee and Taylor Rd.
