American ballet theatre

The American Ballet Theatre is an American ballet company founded by Oliver Smith and Lucia Chase in 1940.

Consists of programs of performances of the Ballet Theatre dance company from its first performance in 1940 until 1979. (In 1958 the name of the company became the American Ballet Theatre.) There are also two souvenir programs for the seasons of 1976-77 and 1977-78, as well as a 1978 copy of On Point (IV, No. 1), the magazine of the American Ballet Theatre.

The programs are arranged chronologically.
