To give the public a little taste of what's to come in the final ballet of the season, the Milwaukee Ballet will preview "Romeo & Juliet" at Mayfair Mall tomorrow. Using the Milwaukee Ballet II dancers, the ballet will feature four dances that show the history of dance along with a teaser for "Romeo & Juliet."
There will be two performances at Mayfair at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
"Romeo& Juliet" will be performed by the Milwaukee Ballet at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts May 10-13 with guest star Julianne Kepley of Chicago's Joffrey Ballet in the role of Juliet. Tickets start at $20.
Originally from Des Plaines, Ill., Heather moved to Milwaukee to earn a B.A. in journalism from Marquette University. With a tongue-twisting last name like Leszczewicz, it's best to go into a career where people don't need to say your name often.
However, she's still sticking to some of her Illinoisan ways (she won't reform when it comes to things like pop, water fountain or ATM), though she's grown to enjoy her time in the Brew City.
Although her journalism career is still budding, Heather has had the chance for some once-in-a-lifetime interviews with celebrities like actor Vince Vaughn and actress Charlize Theron, director Cameron Crowe and singers Ben Kweller and Isaac Hanson of '90s brother boy band Hanson.
Heather's a self-proclaimed workaholic but loves her entertainment. She's a real television and movie fanatic, book nerd, music junkie, coffee addict and pop culture aficionado.
