While this major classical company concentrates on touring, the Joffrey schedules about 6 weeks of performances a year in its hometown. Its repertoire extends from the ballets of founder Robert Joffrey, George Balanchine, and Jerome Robbins to the cutting-edge works of Alonzo King and Chicago choreographer Randy Duncan. The company is usually in town in the spring (Mar or Apr), fall (Sept or Oct), and December, when it stages a popular rendition of the holiday favorite The Nutcracker.
