"New York Theater Ballet is a little company that thinks big on a small theatrical scale. Under the direction of Diana Byer, it has become known for well-coached stagings of ballets especially suited for small theaters. The troupe also offers even smaller-scale productions called Dance on a Shoestring, informal hour-long showings." – The New York Times
