The Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre 2021-2022 Season is the first that Susan Jaffe – who took the helm of the company in June of 2020, with the pandemic in full force – will have curated in her new position.
The Western Pennsylvania ballet company will see live performances return to their beloved Benedum Center and August Wilson African American Cultural Center with increased safety measures including masking, social distancing, a guest pledge and a pledge from the venues to maintain a safe and comfortable environment.
