Created by Artistic Director Rachel Molinaro, this out-of-this-world production follows the story of a pilot marooned in the desert where she meets a mysterious stranger who traveled to Earth from a far away planet in search of the meaning of connection and friendship. This family-friendly show features an eccentric cast of characters who populate various planets, such as space royalty, a talking rose and a friendly fox, who all teach The Little Dancer unique lessons on becoming a good person and how to care for others. The Little Dancer production is a recipient of the Illinois Arts Council Creative Projects Grant for 2026 and the Evanston Arts Council\u2019s Cultural Fund Grant for 2026.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-thb-accent-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tickettailor.com\/events\/evanstondanceensemble\/1869601\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:2px;border-top-right-radius:2px;border-bottom-left-radius:2px;border-bottom-right-radius:2px\">Get Tickets<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a huge show and I&#8217;m thrilled to have been a part of it.
