Congratulations to our 2007 Nutbuster performers! What a fabulous sold-out weekend we had!

We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the fans that came to support us at the Firehouse for our 20th Anniversary performance. We can't say enough how grateful we are for each and every one of you who packed the theater, eager to see what our small group of passionate and creative dancers were inspired to create and perform for you all. Your enthusiasm for our company and the art of dance is what drives us to keep creating new and exciting pieces for the world to see.

So from the bottom of our hearts....Thank you so very much for helping us to celebrate 20 years of creativity, passion, inspiration, sweat, cheers, tears, love, aching muscles and hearts full of gratitude for the opportunity...to dance.

	20th Anniversary Performance May 2007 Our 20th Anniversary performance at the Firehouse Center for the Arts featured choreography by Fontaine Dubus, Susan Atwood, Stephen Haley, Cheryl Schwind and Tricia Walsh. Some of those names sound familiar? Celebrating 20 years, Exit's founders pulled out all the stops to make this show a memorable one. Susan and Stephen had us swinging from the ceiling in Threads, Fonny had us tied together at the hip in Prodigal Daughter, Cheryl had us swaying in the forest bringing back her piece Landscapes, which originally premiered in 1996. It was a stellar performance featuring the old and the new. If you didn't get a chance to see the show...We are looking at other venues to take this show on the road, more details to follow. Stay tuned if you were unable to attend...or just want to see us swing from the ceiling again!. (Click here to see the flier)

Pit Girls

Exit Dance Theatre premiered Fontaine Dubus' "Pit Girls" at its February 2004 performance at the Firehouse. This piece seeks to illuminate the experience of 19th century English women who worked in the coal pits at the various collieries in Northern England. In the latter part of the century they were only allowed to work above the pits sorting coal etc. They were most controversial not only because they worked a man's job, but because they wore trousers, and pinned up their skirts in order to keep them out of the way.
