PBT Connects

Expand your ballet experience with free PBT Education programs at the theater! Please see the production page for an exact schedule and registration.


Opening Night Preview
This program is a great opportunity to hear from choreographers, creatives and dance makers involved in the production. Get an introduction, as well as background and context for what you’re about to see on stage. Opening nights (except for The Nutcracker) at 6:30 p.m.

Artist Q & A

Chat with PBT’s artists about their roles in the performance, preparing for a ballet, working with choreographers and more. Directly after the performance on Friday and Saturday nights, depending upon the production. 

Family Workshop

It’s always easier for kids to appreciate and understand a performance and the art form with a little preparation! Join us for a story time and more fun at 12:45 p.m. on the first Saturday of the production run of our Family Fairy Tale series performances. Registration required; please visit our production pages to sign up.

Curtain Up!

This is a truly special opportunity to watch the last few minutes of company class on stage. After class is over we’ll get a quick overview of the production and take your questions. First Sunday of the production run (except for The Nutcracker) at 1 p.m.

Ballet Workshop for Scouts

Bring your troop to a performance and kick it off with a pre-show ballet class! Available for The Nutcracker only at this time. Click here for more information.
