Let yourself escape into Michael Pink’s dreamy retelling of the family-favorite fairy tale, featuring live music by the Milwaukee Ballet Orchestra.

Milwaukee Ballet and Versiti Blood Center are joining forces for a Sleeping Beauty-themed blood drive, blending the artistry of ballet with the lifesaving power of donation. Though pricking her finger didn't go too well for Aurora, when YOU donate blood, you'll play an integral part in saving lives of those in need. 

This donation event will take place on Friday, March 21 from 10:30 AM-3:20 PM at Baumgartner Center for Dance. All donors will receive a Buy-One-Get-One-Free ticket for Sleeping Beauty as a thank you for their generosity and kindness. After all, isn't that what fairy tales are all about?
