Albany Berkshire Ballet's Beer & Wine Tasting!
Join us to fundraise for new Nutcracker costumes!
Every year, Albany Berkshire Ballet brings the magic of The Nutcracker to four cities across the northeast United States. We cast over 200 young dancers from the local area of each respective location.
After attending rehearsals from October to December, all of our dancers get the chance to perform alongside professional dancers in an enchanting production of The Nutcracker. With beautifully designed sets and costumes, it's an annual tradition not to be missed!
This year, ABB has set out to revitalize our production with the addition of exquisitely designed new costumes for our 49th Annual Nutcracker tour!
Join us for a night filled with beer, wine and hors d'oeuvres to help us in our efforts to fund our new costumes! Get your tickets below.
