I'm very excited about the Spring Season... but absolutely shocked about Cassie! Is she getting any performances at all? The calendar is working for me, but I don't see her name listed anywhere. 

Hopefully she will get a lot of performances during the mixed bill performances. But it is disheartening to see her only get one full length.

I feel this way too...and can only guess how discouraging it is for her...

Yes, especially after seeing what happened to other dancers (e.g. Part, Lane) who, despite principal status, were given fewer roles than (IMO) they deserved.

Indeed! Especially after their number of performances are being cut back so dramatically. If I were in charge I would give her one of Hee Seo's Don Q performances. Don't get me wrong, I love Seo, but I see her as more of a lyrical dramatic dancer.

I've always found Trenary to be extremely versatile in terms having excellent classical technique and also being exceptional in more modern/contemporary works. I don't see why she shouldn't get a Don Q at least during the tour. Perhaps the shortage of shorter male principals helps explain her lack of casting. There are so few Basilio-worthy dancers in the company right now, and Cornejo has an ongoing partnership with Brandt.
