The F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum and Victoria Niblett’s Jellybean Dance Collective will be presenting a very special performance of the Sweet Home Storytelling Dance Series for F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald’s 99th wedding anniversary on April 3!

The Sweet Home Storytelling Dance Series was created with the goal of inspiring others through the universal language of movement to engage with our state’s history in a unique and interdisciplinary way. The bicentennial is an opportune time for remembering Alabama’s history and gaining the tools to build a better tomorrow; this series hopes to capitalize on this exciting time in our state.The Sweet Home Storytelling Dance Series hopes that through these performances, you can see all the stories Alabama has to tell and what makes this state a “Sweet Home” worth commemorating, celebrating, and investing in for a brighter future.

On April 3, you will be able to engage with the legacy of Alabama native and Alabama Women’s Hall of Fame member, Zelda Fitzgerald.

After the ten minute performances at 11 am, 12 pm, and 1 pm a short Q&A will be held to facilitate discussion and educate audiences on this incredible Alabamian and the impact she made.

This educational series will be held amongst the galleries of the Fitzgerald Museum as an immersive exhibit, and allow you to truly experience the creative energy of the house where F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda Fitzgerald wrote their respective novels, Tender is the Night and Save Me the Waltz.

Between performances and discussion, there will also be time to tour the beautiful Fitzgerald Home with a knowledgeable guide throughout your visit!  Please adhere to the museum admittance fee of $10, though donations directed to funding more performances of the Sweet Home Series are also graciously accepted.
