From the press release: TWYLA THARP Thursday, September 18 5:30 pm, McCaw Hall Choreographer Twyla Tharp will discuss her new works for PNB, with excerpts performed onstage by Company dancers. Ms. Tharp will also field questions from the audience. This special event is FREE for full season subscribers; subscribers may purchase additional tickets for $15; general admission $20.

Tickets to this special event are $20.
