No Place Like Hope for the Holidays

Every year Tulsa Ballet hosts Hope for the Holidays. Our very first Nutcracker performance is given to those who may need some extra holiday cheer this season. More than 2,000 clients from local service agencies enjoy an evening at the ballet complete with Christmas characters like the Nutcracker, a Christmas Mouse, Frosty the Snowman and Happy Feet. Cookies are provided as well as Nutcracker ornaments as souvenirs.

This is one of our favorite events as this is exactly what the arts is all about – enriching the community. Many of the families that come to Hope have never seen a ballet before, let alone step foot in a theater. The children especially were so excited to see the ballerinas and be swept away by this magical fairytale.

We offer thanks to The Barnett Family Foundation, The Robson Companies, The Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation, The Barnett Family Foundation and The Maxine and Jack Zarrow Foundation for presenting this special performance of Tulsa Ballet’s The Nutcracker. Refreshments are courtesy of QuickTrip convenience stores and Hiland Dairy. Also, we appreciate all of our volunteers from the Barre Society and Cygnet Society for all of their help during this special show. Without their generous support, we would not be able to offer this treat to so many Tulsans who need a little extra holiday magic this year.
