The Kansas City Ballet – Nutcracker Ball Private Dinner
Supporters of the 2019 Nutcracker Ball were guests at a private dinner on the stage of the Muriel Kauffman Theatre at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts on December 17th. The Land of Sweets backdrop from The Nutcracker ballet provided the elegant setting for the event. Partygoers enjoyed a dinner, creative table décor from Craig Sole and Larry Wheeler, the music of the Brookside Strings Quartet, and performances by the Kansas City Ballet’s Second Company Dancers and Company Dancers, Liang Fu and Amaya Rodriguez.
