NIU’s School of Theatre and Dance will perform their Fall Dance Concert, “Paquita and other repertoire,” with the first show at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

The show follows Paquita, a young Romani girl in Spain during the occupation by Napoleon’s army who doesn’t know she is of noble birth. She saves the life of Lucien d’Hervilly, a young French officer. Paquita uses a medallion with her father’s portrait to discover her true history and marry Lucien.
