LEAP!

Welcome to the whimsical world of the frogs. Quirky and mischievious, these curious creatures only invite guests under their circusy big top to peek into their realm once every four years on Leap Day. The zany cast of misfits celebrates eccentricity and friendship in this cabaret-meets-Mad-Hatter-tea-party extravaganza. In 2020, Michael Barnes of the Statesman called LEAP! "exhilarating." Join the leapfrogs of Ventana Ballet for a glittering and wild ride, as they provoke you with the question: what will you do with your extra day?
