PILOBOLUS

Tonight’s performance at the Annenberg Center concludes Quincy Ellis and Marlon Feliz’s tenure with Pilobolus as part of the full company. We are so grateful for their exquisite grace, creativity, and heart both on and off the stage.

We also bid farewell to our Lighting Supervisor, Yannick Godts, who has truly set minds and hearts aglow with his impeccable vision.

Our deepest gratitude and love to you all! ♥️
