Who do we serve?
The Ballet Ambassador Program provides underwritten tickets to social service agencies, senior living facilities, and educational programs serving those who would otherwise not have access to our performances. We seek to break down historical barriers to attendance such as the high cost of tickets, transportation to and from the theater, and societal attitudes stigmatizing low-income persons and/or persons of color. 

Ballet Ambassadors personally welcome our new-attenders to the theater in order that their experience is entirely positive. In past seasons, we have hosted groups from CRT's The Retreat, Bloomfield Seniors, Maple Avenue Neighborhood Revitalization Group, Mt. Olive Baptist Church Youth Ministry, Hartford Young Scholars, Inspirica, Starfish Connection, and more.

 

Would YOU consider becoming an Ambassador?

Connecticut Ballet is seeking ambassadors-at-large. We’re recruiting a dedicated group of people who want to share their enthusiasm for this art form.

What does a Ballet Ambassador do?

• Serve as an advocate for the ballet in the community by sharing upcoming events and access to free theater tickets with friends, family and colleagues;

• Serve as a feedback mechanism for us: Did your guests feel comfortable in the theater? Did the performance resonate with them? Would they recommend it to others?

 

What do you receive in return?

• Up to four complimentary tickets to performances at The Bushnell or The Palace;

• The satisfaction of knowing that you helped develop a strong, diverse and sustainable audience for Connecticut Ballet in the future;
  
  
   

• $500 enables ten individuals to attend the ballet

• $1000 enables 20 individuals to attend the ballet

• $1250 enables 25 individuals to attend​ the ballet
