The Green Light Was Never His Alone.

ZELDA: Her Voice in the Age of Gatsby is Little Women Ballet Company’s newest full-length original ballet — a women-led reimagining of the famous 1920s flapper. Blending the fictional world of The Great Gatsby with the real lives of Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, the production centers Zelda’s creativity and voice, highlighting a female artist striving to be seen.

Your Gift Brings ZELDA to Life

When you give to Little Women Ballet Company, you're not just supporting a production — you're investing in a story that has never been told this way before.

ZELDA is our most ambitious original ballet yet: a full-length, two-act work that reclaims Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald as the artist she always wanted to be — dancer, writer, painter, dreamer. Featuring an original commissioned score by composer Oliver Davis and choreography by Artistic Director Emma Andres, this production is built from the ground up by our company.

Your donation directly funds:

• Choreography & Rehearsal & Dancer Stipends — Months of creation, development, and refinement with our dancers, bringing Zelda's world from page to stage across two acts.

• Original Score by Oliver Davis — A first-of-its-kind collaboration, commissioning a orchestral score written specifically for this ballet.

• Costumes & Design — From the jazz-soaked ballrooms of 1920s Alabama to the fragmented beauty of Zelda's inner world, every costume and set piece tells her story.

• Lighting, Production Design, and Theater Rentals — the visual poetry of ZELDA requires bold, innovative design.

ZELDA premieres in 2027.

Every gift — at any level — moves us closer to opening night.
