Performance Description: Kilroy is coming… For her fourth work and first full-evening ballet for Atlanta Ballet, Helen Pickett – the Company’s resident choreographer – mounts the much-anticipated world premiere of “Camino Real.” Inspired by the 1953 Tennessee Williams play of the same name, the story is told from the perspective of Kilroy, a character based on patriotic iconography from the WWII era. The work grapples with human mortality, the burning desire to connect, and the will to live. Ticket Information: Tickets start as low as $20 and are on sale now.
