Join MAX for Smuin Ballet's annual Christmas Ballet LGBTQ+ Night performance to benefit Project Open Hand. For those interested, also join us for a pre-performance dinner at Amber India.
Smuin Ballet’s fiercely festive 2022 edition of The Christmas Ballet returns – showcasing Smuin’s exquisite signature style in a dazzling program of ballet, contemporary, character, Broadway jazz, and tap in two acts.
For the one-night-only LGBTQ+ Night, Smuin Ballet has created special programming and casting that celebrates our vibrant LGBTQ+ community. The performance is divided into a classical first half and a fun and jazzy second half featuring red-hot contemporary dances set to pop favorites.
Every ticket purchased provides a donation to Project Open Hand, founded in 1985. Project Open Hand serves life-saving, medically-tailored nutrition to community members experiencing critical health conditions including HIV/AIDS, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease in San Francisco and Alameda counties.
The Christmas Ballet includes selections that are moving and beautiful and others that are smart, fun, and sure to bring a smile to your face. The performance usually ends on just the right note of joy to send you out onto the streets with a spring in your step!
