OUR WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU
This year, Ballet San Antonio is honoring those who have served on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a way to say thank you from our community, we want to put our front line workers center stage in our largest show of the year, The Nutcracker.
Our 2021 Honorees
We are excited to announce the 2021 Mother Ginger Honorees!
We were deeply touched to receive so many heartwarming stories about our community’s frontline heroes and the work they do for our city. It was not an easy decision to pick only 8 people. To all our nominees, you all have done, and continue to do, a tremendous job, and on behalf of all of us at Ballet San Antonio, we want you to know that each of you are deeply appreciated.
