Former principal ballerina with the New York City Ballet Judith Fugate discusses her career and the May production of the George Balanchine work Who Cares? on Wednesday, April 28, at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.

Set to 16 Gershwin songs, Who Cares? is part of the Kansas City Ballet’s spring season and will be performed May 6-9 at The Lyric Theatre.

Fugate has danced in virtually every ballet in the New York City Ballet repertoire, counting among her partners Peter Martins, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Helgi Tomasson. She left the company in 1997 to pursue a career as a freelance guest artist and co-artistic director of Ballet NY.

The event is co-sponsored by the Kansas City Ballet.
