Christmas in July

As you enjoy the warmth of summer, you may find it's not too early to have visions of sugarplums dancing in your head.

Our skilled dancers and audiences of children and families count on your support to help bring those unforgettable visions to life in our annual production of  The Nutcracker.

Your generous donation helps the Springfield Ballet Company thrive in a world where funding for the arts continues to fall short.

To donate online via PayPal, please visit our website HERE.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support and for making our Christmas in July campaign a great success!
