Celebrate dance theatre with DTO

Join us this season as DTO celebrates its thirteenth year in Oregon! Known throughout the Northwest and Canada for its colorful dance theatre choreography rich in artistry, energy and humor, the 04-05 season continues this tradition.

With a "contempo-classique" flair, each program celebrates, explores and takes you on a choreographic and musical journey in the classical and contemporary styles.

Opening the Hult season in November is the colorful musical adaptation of The Shoe Bird, which premiered in 1998 to sold out audiences and has become a DTO tradition. Its story of love and learning set to an original score by Angela LeCompte, costumes by Sher Alltucker and stage direction and choreography by Pamela Lehan-Siegel bring the memorable characters to life as they sing and dance their way into your family's hearts.

In February, DTO and DTO II Children's Company join with the one hundred children of Oregon Festival Choirs in You Can Dance, a joyous concert of dance and song celebrating children and dance!

And in May, the sequel to last year's "gems" concert, Gems of the Valley II which will once again bring together the dynamic foursome of Robert Ashens, Carol Ann Manzi, Pamela Lehan-Siegel and Marc Siegel as they invite additional valley luminaries of theater, opera, dance and television to share in an intimate evening of song, comedy, dance and fun.

Also don't miss the company on tour in California in October.
