Interplay
Choreography: Jerome Robbins
Music: Morton Gould
An energetic and brightly colored ballet that conveys the wonderful playfulness and unfettered curiosity of youth. This is one of Robbins� truly American works, with movement in the same style as his later Broadway choreography for West Side Story.

�Exhilarating "
�New York Times

Sea Shadow
Choreography: Gerald Arpino
Music: Maurice Ravel
A magical and sensual duet about a young man on a beach enamored with an enchanting sea nymph. Performed in honor of what would have marked Joffrey co-founder Gerald Arpino�s 90th birthday.

"Effectively Sensuous" �New York Times

Nine Sinatra Songs
Choreography: Twyla Tharp
