BalletX Fall Series 2026 on stage now through November 15 at Suzanne Roberts Theatre

Philadelphia (WPVI) -- For Fall Series 2026, BalletX is presenting a triple bill.

"Music, beautiful dancing, incredible choreography, sets - we have the whole package," says Christine Cox, Artistic & Executive Director, BalletX. "Two we created a couple years ago on the company and then one which is a world premiere."

The world premiere is called "Speakeasy."

"It's inspired by Philadelphia speakeasies from the 1920s," says Cox.

And you're invited, as the era of Prohibition comes to life on stage.

"Frank Moon's music is jazzy," she says. "And the choreographer is Laughlan Prior, who hails from New Zealand."

Cox says Prior has so many "dynamic ideas" to engage audiences.

It's a literal barrel of fun.

"The set is magnificent. It's unusual. It's surprising," she says. "In this era when you have to be very secretive about your nightly explorations."

"In the Wake" by Christian Denice originally premiered in 2025. It's set to an original score by Philip Daniel.

"This is an extraordinary work that explores the rituals around when we lose somebody, the passing of somebody," she says. "And how do we create ways to mourn, and move on in our life together when we lose somebody? It's really beautiful."

BalletX is also performing Amy Hall Garner's "Switching the Groove."

"We have some new dancers and some original cast members," says Cox. "And they just go from classical into this groovy movement and it's so much fun to watch that transition."

It falls in line with the company's mission.

"The vision is to create extraordinary dance experiences that inspire human connection," she says. "It's an exciting, dynamic program, and yeah, can't wait for everyone to see it."

BalletX presents Fall Series 2026 through November 15 at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre.
