The AABT dancers and our crew and volunteers want to thank all of you who came to our performances and made the 2011 Nutcracker a huge success. We will look forward to seeing you in 2012. 

See Spring Performance page for detailed information regarding CAS Ballet Theatre's "Sweet Dreams and Summer Nights" at Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.  Mark your calendars for Saturday May 26th! 

Located within the Michigan League building on the central campus of the University of Michigan, the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre is an intimate, shoe-box theatre seating 642. Decorated with solid oak paneling that creates an atmosphere of elegance and charm, the Mendelssohn Theatre is perfect for smaller conferences. Just down the hallway in the Michigan League are similarly designed, tasteful private dining rooms and a large ballroom. The Mendelssohn Theatre is also used extensively for theatrical productions and solo recitals.

Opening on May 4, 1929, the theatre was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Allen Pond & Pond, Martin & Lloyd. In 1995, new carpeting and seats were installed, and the proscenium curtain was replaced. Its lighting equipment is modern. The Mendelssohn Theatre is one of the few theaters in the United States to have a "cyclorama," a curved wall at the back of the stage. The cyclorama improves sound in the theater and can be used for creative lighting effects
