RECAP: EARLY DRESS REHEARSAL

DIRECTOR'S CORNER

Cadance Wars
A Star Wars Inspired Dance Performance.

A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away...

A fierce civil war rages between the oppressive Galactic Empire and the brave Rebel Alliance led by Princess Leia. Princess Leia sends two droids on a secret mission to find Obi-Wan Kenobi, a legendary Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan has been quietly watching over Luke Skywalker, the son of a fallen friend and a promising Jedi in his own right.

This is the princess's last hope to rally the forces needed to restore freedom to the galaxy…
