A little grace

Like most Americans, you probably spent last week’s Independence Day holiday scarfing hot dogs and coleslaw, drinking beer and watching things ignite. Just to balance things out, you might want to take in some classical entertainment. Why not put down the leftover Jell-O salad and make plans to attend the Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet presentation of Swan Lake Act 2 and Divertissements? The program includes some of the most beautiful scenes from Swan Lake as well as pieces from Romeo and Juliet, Napoli and others. Art by Natasha and flowers by Jill Hansen will be displayed, for that well-rounded, highbrow experience. Attend a performance, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, and find yourself refreshed for your next DVD and potato chip session. $15.
