Dance with the Joffrey Ballet Stars at 10th Anniversary Celebration Gala

Join the Women’s Board of the Joffrey Ballet for a dazzling night of dance and dining on May 6 in celebration of the Board’s 10th anniversary. Over the years the Board has provided $15,000,000 in support to the organization, making it the Joffrey Ballet’s single largest contributor!

This milestone will be marked with a gala that kicks off with a spectacular dance program developed by the Joffrey’s Artistic Director, Ashley Wheater. It will open and close with selections from George Balanchine’s “Stars and Stripes,” along with other season favorites and a special performance by Exelon Strobel Touring Troupe.

Following the performance, you’ll be whisked away by a classic Chicago trolley for cocktails and dinner at the elegant Palmer House Hilton. And as a very appropriate close to another successful season, the “Grand Finale” of the gala will give you the unique opportunity to dance the night away––with the Joffrey dancers––and see if your moves measure up!

Tickets are $600.00 for the performance, gala dinner and “Grand Finale,” with tables ranging from $6,000 to $25,000. For those choosing only the performance and “Grand Finale,” advance tickets are available for $95.00 ($110.00 at the door) and include general admission to the gala performance at 6:30 p.m. For more information and ticket or donation inquiries, please contact here.

PERFORMANCE: Sunday, May 6, 6:30pm, Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, 50 East Congress Parkway

DINNER: Immediately following performance, Palmer House Hilton Ballroom, 17 East Monroe Street
