Description: Witty pranksters, straying spouses and lilting melodies — it’s the ultimate Viennese confection. In Strauss’ beloved 1874 operetta, revenge for a cruel trick leads to a woman sending her lover to jail under her husband’s name, a man attempting to seduce his own wife (disguised as a Hungarian countess) and a chambermaid masquerading as a lady of quality. The complications get straightened out in a prison run by a drunken jailer, all to the sparkling music of the great Viennese master.

Experience Boundless Eclectic in performance – a unique, multigenerational collaboration of our homeschool youth with highly seasoned, professional musicians/dancers, including Co-Directors Artis & Hermione, as well as Latteta Theresa (our Music Director) – a world-class Master Elder Musician/Composer, Marc Blackwood of Inner Loop, and other special guests.

This evening length performance blends dance, movement, music, soundscapes, spoken word, and percussion in a metaphorical, non-linear narrative which explores the quest for Freedom – both historically, with regards to civil rights, and on a personal level, encouraging a continual journey of self-liberation. Why do we have conflicts? How do we resolve them? What choices do we make? In what ways do we hold ourselves back? How can we embody Freedom, every day?
