The next production team feature of Oklahoma! is our Ballet Choreographer/Assistant Choreographer, Michelle Quenon! Michelle Quenon is currently the Artistic Director of Ballet Chelsea. She began her formal ballet training under the direction of Sergey Rayevskiy in her hometown of Novi, Michigan. She went on to earn a BFA in Dance Performance from Butler University, where she performed various corps de ballet and soloist roles with Butler Ballet, including the Lilac Fairy in The Sleeping Beauty, and the Arabian lead in The Nutcracker. Following graduation, Michelle danced with Nevada Ballet Theatre and then with Ballet Theatre of Indiana. After her second season with BTI, Michelle took on the role of Ballet Mistress and had the opportunity to choreograph for the company—her works included a jazzy party scene to a score by Duke Ellington for The Nutcracker, the second act of Cinderella, and a full one-act production of The Great Gatsby. Michelle has choreographed and directed a number of full length ballets, including The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Giselle. She also staged excerpts from the classical repertoire of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, and Giselle. This is Michelle’s third year as Artistic Director of Ballet Chelsea. With Ballet Chelsea, she has directed and choreographed The Nutcracker and Cinderella. She also staged Don Quixote after choreography by Marius Petipa.

The next member of our Oklahoma! production team is our choreographer, Meredith Nelson! Meredith is grateful for another opportunity to experience the creative process with CAP through choreography for musical theatre.

So, life has officially come full circle! May this production be as magical for you as it was for her way back then.
