As a member of the Capitol Ballet, Marilyn York appeared in Hinton Battle’s Hinty and Doris W. Jones’ Rhapsody in Blue on November 20, 1977 at the Lisner Auditorium. It is not known if York performed elsewhere or with the company on other occasions. 

Note: It is not definite that Marilyn York was Black as we have no photographic or written evidence, but based on her status as a member of a historically Black company, she has been included in MoBBallet’s Roll Call.
