Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's Susan Jaffe On Her First Season

Dance Magazine: No one would blame Susan Jaffe if she wanted a mulligan on her first season at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. Taking over from longtime artistic director Terrence S. Orr in the middle of 2020 upended any expectations of a smooth transition into her first artistic directorship. Nonetheless, since starting at the post in July, she's tackled problems raised by the pandemic head-on, getting the dancers back in the studio with COVID-19 protocols that exceeded AGMA union guidelines, and then getting them back performing in virtual productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Nutcracker and more.
