Helene Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 From the press release from the Robbins Foundation: Quote PACIFIC NORTHWEST BALLET Afternoon of a Faun, The Concert, In the Night, Other Dances: 21 Sept 2018 Dances at a Gathering, Interplay, West Side Story Suite: 28 Sept 2018 No "The Cage" :(, but "Dances" will be back. Two programs on consecutive Fridays are listed. It isn't clear how the rest of Rep 1 weekends will play. Link to comment
pherank Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 A great lineup for this program. I guess you would have to go to SF to see The Cage - SFB's Robbins program is (currently) slated for Mar 20 - Mar 25 (7 shows). A rather short period, but maybe there will be added shows…https://www.sfballet.org/season/2018-repertory/2018-program-5 Fortunately PNB's program and SFB's program are running at different times of the year so it's possible for jet setters to see both.

sandik Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Looking at this again, I'm sad that Interplay seems to have dropped out. But there's much to be grateful for. Link to comment
