(6/3 to 6/12, times vary) Pacific Northwest Ballet presents three works that showcase American themes and traditions: Jerome Robbins’ Fancy Free, George Balanchine’s Square Dance, and Twyla Tharp’s unwieldy Waiting at the Station, which was set to music by the recently deceased jazz legend Allen Toussaint.

Friday (6/3, 7 p.m.) Who says the orchestra is stuffy? Seattle Rock Orchestra Social Club returns to Town Hall for another stereotype-quashing performance, where the community ensemble will put its twist on rock and pop hits. Think lively symphonic riffs on Blondie, Bowie, Madonna and others.
