Ballet Theatre Company Fundraiser in Blue Back Square

Ballet Theatre Company of West Hartford is partnering with Barnes and Noble and Moe's Southwest Grill in Blue Back Square on Thursday, April 28, 2011, for a fundraising event. Mention Ballet Theatre Company at the B & N checkout, and a portion of your purchase will be donated to BTC. Moe's will also donate 10% of their sales between 5 and 9pm that same night when you mention Ballet Theatre Company.

Funds raised will go to Ballet Theatre Company’s Children’s Enrichment Program (CEP), founded in 2002 to further BTC’s commitment to all children in the community by making dance available to children regardless of means. Dance classes, workshops, and tickets to BTC's Nutcracker and Spring Repetoire are offered for free to more than 600 children from 20 area child-advocacy organizations. Through this program, these children have the opportunity to learn more about the world of dance and theater. These experiences can open windows of opportunity, perhaps creating a lifelong love of the arts or even encouraging the next rising star as a dancer, musician, choreographer, stage manager, or designer.
