NOBA Presents: Pilobolus

Twirling toadstools hit the Mahalia Jackson Theater stage when Pilobolus comes to town. Named for a heliotropic fungus, the nearly-fifty-year-old dance troupe uses mixed media, animation, dance, and shadow theater to stage Shadowland: The New Adventure, a whimsical trip to save a magical bird. Presented by the New Orleans Ballet Association. 8 pm. $35–$150. nobadance.com.
