TULSA, Okla. – July 2018 Tulsa Ballet opens its doors Saturday, August 11th with their first annual Open House from 9:30am-3:00pm at their studio location on 45th and Peoria. The event is free and open to the public and will provide the Tulsa community with exclusive access and a up close look at their studios, theater, as well as their artistic staff and dancers. Attendees are encouraged to view open company class and rehearsals throughout the day with additional opportunities for activities and short classes for the entire family. Tulsa Ballet is proud to partner with local groups to offer additional activities such as a reading time with the Gathering Place and pet adoptions with Tulsa SPCA.

Tulsa Ballet Managing Director Scott Black says, “Each year, thousands of people experience Tulsa Ballet productions at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, and yet most of them have never seen our facility in Brookside, that has been our home for over 25 years.  We are excited about opening our doors to the community and we hope that people will take advantage of this unique opportunity to get a sneak peak into what truly happens behind the scenes.“

Visitors are welcome to stop in and out throughout the day and are encouraged to RSVP by calling (918) 392-5905 or by filling out the online form at http://bit.ly/TBTOpenHouse18.
