Some casting info from Seattle Times:

Tentative:  Ariana Lallone in "Lambarena", "Rubies", and "Petite Mort".  I wonder the excerpt from "Carmen" will be, since she originated the title role.

Jeffrey Stanton:  "Slaughter on 10th Avenue" and "Agon".

Neither Olivier Wevers nor Stanko Milov will dance, at least as of now.

Looking forward to it, and hoping for appearances by the dancers who are not scheduled to perform that night, at least with some parting words.
