For the Innovators Supporter…
Rep 1 | THE TIMES ARE RACING
Rep 3 | The Sleeping Beauty
Rep 4 | EMERGENCE
Rep 6 | Director’s Choice
Step into the world of contemporary ballet with our season opener, THE TIMES ARE RACING, featuring Justin Peck’s joyful sneaker ballet. Next, join us for a re-imagining of the classic tale The Sleeping Beauty. Although it’s a story ballet, with a creative team including Native American glass artist Preston Singletary, costume designer Paul Tazewell (Hamilton, West Side Story), and MacArthur Fellow Basil Twist, this production is innovative indeed. Next, attend EMERGENCE, featuring Crystal Pite’s intense ensemble work. Finish the season with Director’s Choice, including work choreographed by PNB’s very own Kiyon Ross, as well as a world premiere from Rena Butler, former Choreographic Associate of the Gibney Company.
For the Romantic Evening Seeker…
Join Princess Aurora on her journey exploring love, dreams, and destiny in The Sleeping Beauty. Next, join us for EMERGENCE, which includes Jerome Robbins’ Afternoon of a Faun, and watch an intimate moment as two dancers meet in a rehearsal studio. In the spring, see Roméo et Juliette; Jean-Christophe Maillot’s distillation of this classic love story is not to be missed. Finish the season with Twyla Tharp’s Nine Sinatra Songs, a series of duets set to Sinatra’s music, at our Director’s Choice program.
For the New Works Aficionado…
Rep 1 | THE TIMES ARE RACING

Finish the season with a world premiere by Rena Butler, who has danced with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, AIM by Kyle Abraham, and Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, among others, and is now an exciting choreographer in her own right.
