SEATTLE, WA – PNB closes its 2014-2015 season with CARMINA BURANA, a dynamic duo of repertory works. Set to Shostakovich's galvanic score, Alexei Ratmansky's crowd-pleasing Concerto DSCH, an “endlessly suspenseful construction [with] passages of breathtaking dance brilliance” (New York Times) dazzles the eyes and ears with its playful, propulsive energy and glimpses of storytelling. In Kent Stowell's primal Carmina Burana, a grand-scale synthesis of dance, chorus, and orchestra, the famous cantata's poems materialize as the entire Company unites song and score for a jubilant communal experience under Carmina scenic designer Ming Cho Lee's colossal golden wheel. The program also includes a musical prelude to shine the spotlight on the world famous PNB Orchestra, currently celebrating its 25th Anniversary.  CARMINA BURANA runs for seven performances only, May 29 through June 7 at Seattle Center's Marion Oliver McCaw Hall.

?Neil Gooding Productions will present the award winning musical DOGFIGHT at Hayes Theatre Co from 1 May to 31 May 2015.

The SummerStage program of the professional company, Theatrical Outfit, is a month-long performance-based program designed for kids ages 10 to 14 (or 5th to 9th grade) who are serious about theatre but also looking for a healthy dose of summer fun! The program concludes with a fully-realized, professional musical theatre production.

Broadway fans had plenty of reasons to celebrate this year, with dozens of shows having opened since January, hundreds of actors having made their debuts, and many more having returned to the stage for critically acclaimed performances. Not all news was good though, as we also suffered a loss of an incredible amount of talent. Below, BroadwayWorld sends a fond farewell to those who passed away in 2014.

A video sneak peek of the eagerly anticipated concert reading of DOGFIGHT has just been released, featuring the talented all-Canadian cast. Check it out below!
