Ballet Pacifica will deliver two premieres, including a collaboration between troupe artistic director Molly Lynch and local playwright John Glore, during its 1995-96 season at Irvine Barclay Theatre.

“Quiet City,” a slice-of-contemporary-life ballet created by Lynch and Glore, South Coast Repertory’s literary manager, will be danced to Aaron Copland’s “Music for the Theatre” and “Quiet City” on May 17 and 18. It shares the program with James Jones’ “Rhapsody in Blue” and Rick McCullough’s “No Less Than Every.”

The company’s 33rd season opens Oct. 13 and 14 with Lynch’s “Romeo and Juliet: A Dance Suite,” Monica Levy’s “Glass” and the premiere of Robert Sund’s “Celtic Dreams.”
