Beauty and the Beast is the perfect holiday highlight for this year of celebration.” The season continues with an adaptation of the Newberry-Award winning novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry directed by Kory LaQuess Pullam and a co-production with Mu Performing Arts of The Princess’ Nightingale, a new adaptation the Hans Christian Anderson story of The Nightingale set in 17th century China. The Princess’ Nightingale will coincide with Asian Pacific-Islanders Heritage Month in May.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in the 2017-2018 production season, SteppingStone Theatre has served St. Paul and the East Metro as the premiere performing arts organization for youth. Our child-focused approach, teaming professional teaching artists with youth in collaborative and child-driven creative activity, has distinguished SteppingStone from its peers as we continue to nurture meaningful change for youth, families and schools in the community.

BRKFST Dance Company presents: Seconds
In Breakin', the term "biting" describes one person taking another's stylistically unique move and incorporating it into their own arsenal of movement as if they created it. In many ways this artful theft, more than winning, is the high stakes in a breakin’ battle. Seconds explores how individuality and innovation are both commodified and censored in consumer culture. Dancers grapple with external and internal governing forces that compel conformity, rendering bodies disposable and replaced. Through a blend of Breaking, martial-art and contemporary dance vernaculars, BRKFST company members tease out the multiple metaphors embedded in Seconds, interacting with timing, repetition and circumstance, while striving to discover and empower their covetable identities. Sound design is in collaboration with Twin Cities sound artists Katrah-Quey and Breakaway.
