JAMES SEWELL BALLET

Opening Friday: James Sewell Ballet will revive "Lover," pictured, set to the music of Rodgers and Hart. Favorite tunes such as "My Funny Valentine" should set hearts a-flutter. The dancers will be accompanied onstage by the musical talents of Bradley Greenwald, Maria Jette and Dan Chouinard. The program includes a new work, "Your Move," created over the past year with the help of audience participants who submitted dance steps by video. Plus, company member Nic Lincoln will perform "Glitter Garden," a glam solo created by New York choreographer Larry Keigwin. The second weekend of the run features two showings of "Carnival of the Animals" set to the classic score by Camille Saint-Saëns. Kids who arrive early may get animal face paintings in the lobby.
