Performance History
Ballet
Northwest began producing shows at The Evergreen State College in
1970 and now performs at The Washington
Center for The Performing Arts. Our season is anchored by
The The Nutcracker each winter, while spring productions
currently fall into a four-year cycle.
If you have any information about early Ballet Northwest
productions, we'd love to hear from you! Please
email us.
