ONE LIFE, THE STORY OF MANY.

Due to overwhelming requests and in honor of Veterans Day, MBT is proud to present this signature ballet. “Colin” tells the story of Artistic Director, Amy Wolfe’s son who volunteered for the Marines and was killed in action in Iraq. Ms. Wolfe developed the ballet in his memory, gaining inspiration by interviewing family, friends and fellow Marines. The ballet uses Colin’s experience to tell of the sacrifice and suffering that can result from Service.

 

“Colin” and its creation has received international awareness, including this piece by CBS News: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-marines-story-told-through-ballet

 

The ballet is set to original music by Mark Menza, performed by the Manassas Ballet Theatre Orchestra.
