Credits & Notes
The program page carries this epigraph:
In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving. Nature does not often say “See!” to her poor creature when seeing can lead to happy doing; or reply “Here!” to a body’s cry of “Where?” till the hide-and-seek has become an irksome, outworn game.
-Thomas Hardy
Later productions had lighting design by Allen Lee Hughes.
At Midnight has also been in repertory at: American Ballet Company, Feld Ballets/NY, Ballet Tech, and the Royal Swedish Ballet.
At Midnight was originally made possible by the Rockefeller Foundation.
