Ballet signs Lainie Kazan for opener
Lainie Kazan, the award-winning singer and actress currently starring in the film My Big Fat Greek Wedding, will lend her voice to "In Studio D," one of three original dances in The Choreography of Dennis Nahat for Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley's season opener Oct. 17-20 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.

Nahat based the story on his own experience as a young dancer in a New York City rehearsal hall, chronicling the long, intense hours that dancers and choreographers spend training. Kazan will sing eight songs by Peter Wright.
