The “Friends of Clara” program partners individuals and businesses with Santa Barbara Festival Ballet in a local effort to bring the art of dance and it’s culture to individuals that might not otherwise be able to access it.  Generous local partners make it possible for Santa Barbara Festival Ballet to bring children and families to a magical night at the historical Arlington Theatre.

Since the founding of our charitable branch, “Friends of Clara”, in 2006 we have been honored to share the Nutcracker at the Arlington with over 8,200 very special audience members.  We look forward to many years to come serving the larger community through the art that is ballet and the experience of being with family at this event.

We look forward to partnering with you to continue this mission of ballet and performance for everyone.
