America 250 with the PBT Orchestra Casting Announced
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre has announced casting for its upcoming performances of America 250 with the PBT Orchestra. The program is an ode to America’s 250th anniversary, which includes four stunning classical and contemporary works. The family-friendly program featuring Americana-themed ballets will take place at the Benedum Center February 20-22, 2026. The ballets in the program include the fun-filled baseball ballet, The Mighty Casey; George Balanchine’s patriotic and jubilant classical ballet Stars and Stripes Pas de deux; Company B, Paul Taylor’s nostalgic and bittersweet ode to the American Dream with music by The Andrews Sisters; and Ben Stevenson’s romantic Three Preludes about two dancers who fall in love, featuring Rachmaninoff’s beautiful score. From big-band rhythms to star-spangled flair, this dynamic program will feature exhilarating, emotional music performed live by the PBT Orchestra.
