MDT back in business

The '80s were difficult years for MDT. The financial situation forced MDT to close temporarily, and then by 1986, the Board decided to salvage the company by removing Loyce Houlton and merging with the Pacific Northwest Ballet, to becom the Northwest Ballet Bocmpany. The merger turned out to be a disaster, and by 1988, MDT in its new form folded completely.
