Throughout our almost 45-year history, The Virginia Ballet Theatre Academy and Professional Company have been dedicated to making great art and sharing our gifts with the community through quality programming, artistic excellence, and arts education programs aimed at enriching the lives of the people in the Hampton Roads area.
As a friend of the arts, you know we cannot achieve all this without
the loyal and dedicated support of our patrons, whose generous gifts
make it possible for
us to premiere new productions; nurture talented dancers and choreographers; keep ticket prices affordable; provide scholarships for gifted young students; and introduce new audiences to the joy of ballet. Reflecting on the successes of our past, and confident about the future, we invite you to share our vision and our art by joining The Virginia Ballet Theatre as a member. Pointes...

talent and artistry we witness on stage each season would not be possible
without the leadership of our Corporate Sponsors. These members demonstrate
their passion for and commitment to Virginia Ballet Theatre through
generous annual contributions of $5,000 and more. With ticket sales
covering less than half of the costs associated with maintaining our
Company, we rely on these members to provide a critical source of the
funding necessary to cover VBT’s operational and programming expenses. The Virginia Ballet Theatre offers an attractive
recognition and benefits package for corporate sponsors. Name identification
in marketing and advertising materials produced for the Ballet and complimentary
tickets to select Ballet events are common to all sponsorship levels
starting at $5,000. For more information on Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities, call Frank Bove at 757-622-4822 x 302 Virginia Ballet Theatre would like to thank our Sponsors
