Welcome to the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts and the world premiere of Ballet San Antonio’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, choreographed by Rafael Ferreras. A special thank you to you, our patrons, for being with us this weekend. We would also like to thank our choreographer, Rafael Ferreras, our generous sponsors, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts and the staff, board of directors, and dancers of Ballet San Antonio, all without whom this production would not be possible.
On behalf of all of us at Ballet San Antonio, thank you for your support and your patronage, which not only supports our performances here at the Tobin Center, but also our community outreach efforts to offer free ballet classes with the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio and Haven for Hope.
We are grateful beyond measure to each of you.
Please enjoy the performance.
Sincerely,
Evin Nicole Eubanks
