Mark Morris was one of the groundbreaking artists presented in On the Boards' inaugural season at Washington Hall. On November 20, 1981, he premiered I Love You Dearly and over the next 5 years went on to premiere another 12 works. Mark and his company return October 4-6 to this intimate setting for Back On the Boards, a program of four dances, including the world premiere of a new work, titled “A Wooden Tree.”
Here's a look back at those early OtB performances and the dances premiered there.
