Pacific Northwest Ballet wraps up its acclaimed 2007-2008 season with 8 ENCORES, a crowd-pleasing reprise of the past year’s greatest hits. An evening of thrilling selections and inspired performances, the program will feature PNB’s entire company and will give its audience the opportunity to bid a fond farewell to departing dancers. 8 ENCORES will be performed one night only, Sunday, June 8 at 6:30 p.m. at McCaw Hall.

8 ENCORES features Susan Stroman’s TAKE FIVE…More or Less and David Parson’s Caught, as well as excerpts or pas de deux from Jerome Robbins’ Fancy Free and In the Night, Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Roméo et Juliete, Ulysses Dove’s Vespers, and two classic works by George Balanchine: Square Dance and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
