Dance Theatre of Harlem presents its annual family matinee, Harlem Mouse/Country Mouse—an enchanting retelling of Aesop’s “City Mouse and Country Mouse.” Referencing the rich traditions of the Black South and the vibrant energy of modern-day life in Harlem, this joyful story-ballet celebrates the unique expressions of dance, music, and poetry that arise when cultures meet. 

Conceived by Artistic Director Robert Garland and School Director Tai Jimenez, this lively production set to music from R&B to folk, with costumes by Katy Freeman, is a heartwarming spring treat for audiences of all ages.
