91³Ô¹ÏÍø University Dance is pleased to present Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) at the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center on Feb. 16-17, 2024, at 7:30pm. Tickets are now on sale. This is the first time the highly regarded Pacific Northwest Ballet company will perform in Spokane.
“This is one of America’s premier ballet companies and we’re lucky we don’t have to drive to Seattle to experience them for this Valentine’s performance. Our region’s audiences will be glad they treated themselves and their loved ones to tickets — fall in love with dance!” said Suzanne Ostersmith, chair of the dance department.

“We are so excited to bring Pacific Northwest Ballet to the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center,” says Peter Boal, PNB artistic director since 2005. “The program I’ve selected offers iconic works by some of the most innovative choreographers working today, plus two excerpts from Kent Stowell’s magnificent ‘Swan Lake’ — straight from the Seattle stage.
Tickets range from $47.50-$80 and are available online at . They are also available in person at the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center box office, located at 211 E. Desmet and open from noon to 5 p.m. weekdays.
