The Joffrey’s new family-friendly ballet for young audiences, a co-production with Miami City Ballet, follows Rita, a young artist, who paints and dreams of one day living in the big city despite the lush tropical island she lives in. When a hurricane thrusts Rita and her mother into a new life in an urban metropolis, she struggles to adapt to her new environment. Feeling lost, Rita embarks on a journey that helps her redefine what home means. With a little help from her new friends and her family, Rita's spirits lift as she explores the beauty of her new city, igniting a new sense of home, and the realization that her talents never left her.
'Rita Finds Home' is performed by the Joffrey Academy Studio Company, Trainee, and Conservatory students. Chicago performances are free and open to the public.
