SYNOPSIS
The Blue Coat is based on an original ballet by Tess Sinke inspired by scripture from Matthew. This reimagined production by Sydney Zelent and Keely Holbrook, tells the story of a young woman, Sarah, who sets out to find a new community and home after the loss of her parents.
Traveling through Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Sarah encounters many different people. She helps those around her, as God calls us to love each other. Along her journey Sarah feeds hungry children, comforts a distraught and bitter woman, draws a map for three lost sisters, and gives her beloved coat to a child in the cold.
In the end, when Sarah is tired and lost in despair, she is consoled by the outsider she once comforted. Grace returns Sarah’s cherished necklace and welcomes her to a community of love and support.
