Root, root, root for the ballerinas. Curveball, an original story-ballet inspired by a local female baseball phenom, premieres Friday, April 11-Sunday, April 13.

While pitching for the Chattanooga Lookouts in 1931, Jackie Mitchell struck out two Yankee legends: Babe Ruth + Lou Gehrig. Chattanooga Ballet brings a story inspired by Mitchell from field to stage with humor, jazz + big band music, nostalgic costumes, and, in baseball tradition, a seventh-inning stretch.

Psst... Catch a post-show talk during CHA Alumni Night on April 11.
