More than 1,400 people did the stomp-stomp-clap of Queen’s iconic sports anthem “We Will Rock You” on the Morrison Center floor, while the dance company dazzled on stage. The extended curtain call was a literal scream fest." -The Idaho Statesman
"Trey McIntyre Project's latest show pushes the limits with music by Queen." -Boise State Public Radio
The Vinegar Works: Four Dances of Moral InstructionThis work will be Trey’s final ballet for the full-time dance company and is inspired by the work of illustrator and writer Edward Gorey who was known for his intense fondness for ballet.
