Our Gala theme is borrowed from our spring feature ballet of Carmen. Join us as we take a fanciful journey back in time to Spain in the early 1800’s. Dancers from Gwinnett Ballet Theatre and Sugarloaf Youth Ballet will be showcasing their technique and talents at this highly entertaining, energetic, and inspiring performance!

This rollicking event will be held on Saturday, September 10th, 2022, at 7:00 pm at the expansive Sugarloaf Performing Arts Center in Suwanee. It will feature a selection of fine food and drink including gourmet hors d’oeuvers, small plates and a chef inspired menu. This year’s Gala proceeds will benefit our “Gwinnett Outreach” program of educational performances and special needs productions.

The dress is formal and there are a limited number of tickets available. We hope you will join us as we celebrate Gwinnett Ballet Theatre’s legacy in Gwinnett County as we inspire the next generation of dancers!
