Preserving Missoula's Nutcracker for our Children and Community...
In Our 34th Season!
Garden City Ballet (GCB) is the home of Missoula's very own production of The Nutcracker. We proudly offer this holiday tradition and are lucky to work with outstanding performers and their families, as well as exceptional teachers, choreographers and guest artists from across the region and country. GCB does not operate its own dance studio. Instead, we invite all dancers, regardless of studio affiliation, to audition for what has become a treasured community event!
Tickets - On Sale Monday, October 22
See The Nutcracker - Tickets for details.
Raising Funds for the School Show (2018 Sold Out!)
GCB has a proud tradition of funding a school performance (K - 8th grade) for Missoula and surrounding area children who might not otherwise have exposure to classical ballet and the performing arts. To offset the cost of providing a free show for 500 kids, we reach out to our community and raise funds each year. GCB is grateful to our donors who make holiday dreams come true! (For more information, please visit our Fundraising page.)
Thank You to our Growing List of 2018 Donors!
