Audition Description

The company offers four major productions per season plus an outdoor summer performance. In addition to full-length classical ballets and original works by resident choreographers Elizabeth Wistrich and Geoffrey Gonzalez, the company presents ballets by George Balanchine, Peter Martins, Christopher Wheeldon, and other ballet masters.
