Texas Ballet Theater

Why are there so few ballets created by women?

On her penultimate day at Texas Ballet Theater, it was hard for Masako Parshall to step away from her sewing machine or put down her seam ripper for even a few minutes.

Texas Ballet Theater will present a mixed repertoire performance choreographed exclusively by women for the first time in its more than 60-year history. “International Woman” is one of four productions just announced for the 2024-2025 season.

Texas Ballet Theater has a new leader, but opens its season with a work by its longtime director. We look back on Ben Stevenson's career.
