More like pirouette-starter, am I right?
More and more, people are turning to crowdfunding websites to fund their dreams, and major arts organizations are no exception. The Ballet Theater of Toledo has created a Kickstarter project to help fund its annual performance of The Nutcracker. The company’s $4,500 goal will go toward paying professionals to dance as leads in the ballet. Pledges of $10 or more will be matched by rewards from the troupe, ranging from a simple social media shout out to autographed pointe shoes and premium passes to the ballet when the curtain rises. The Nutcracker will be performed this December at the Valentine Theatre in Toledo and the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert. Hey, somebody on Kickstarter raised $75,000 to make a bunch of potato salad; there’s no reason for Ballet Theater of Toledo not to make its goal.
The project ends on Saturday, August 9. To pledge, visit kickstarter.com/projects/nutcrackertoledo/electrify-the-nutcracker
