Atlanta Ballet 2 brings Cinderella to the Fox Theatre October 16–17. The Fox lists Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
The company describes it as a child-friendly narrated ballet with classical music, aimed at ages four and older. This is not the same time commitment as a full evening-length ballet.
The venue and ballet company publish slightly different runtime estimates, so allow about 90 minutes plus arrival and parking. Tickets are required for all attendees.
It is a useful family arts choice when the weekend calendar is otherwise dominated by Halloween and sports. Pick the Saturday matinee if a Friday evening downtown trip feels rushed.
What to do: Check the Fox Theatre’s Cinderella seats for Friday 7:30 p.m. or Saturday 1/5 p.m. if a short family ballet appeals.
