This event is en pointe!
David Ira Rottenberg reads from his new book, “Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig,” at, fittingly, the Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn on July 30.
Students from the academy will dance out the story, which follows two friends with big dreams — Gwendolyn, who longs to dance ballet, and Omar, who wants to join the football team. There’s just one problem — they’re both pigs!
As an added treat, a mini-movement lesson will be offered to the children in the audience after the performance, and Rottenberg will sign copies of his book.
David Ira Rottenberg at Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn [2085 Coney Island Ave. between Kings Highway and Avenue R in Midwood, (718) 891-6199], July 30 at 3 pm. Free, RSVP required.
