Garth, my daughter came out of the Tippy Toes school to start attending IBC's school 3 years ago. I can tell you it's a real experience to see real professional dancers! She was 7 when she first saw IBC perform the Nutcracker. I don't think she breathed the entire performance, and then didn't stop talking all the way home.

I would like to win the free tickets to The Nutcracker to take my mother, to see the show. She is 69 years old and a former "Foster Parent" who recently adopted two of her Foster children. So, at the tender age of 49; I have a 5 year old little brother and a 2 year old little sister. I would like to take my mother, Norma Florence, to the ballet; so, she can have a rare "adult night out" and she's never been to the ballet.. She loves Khristopher and Kimberly (they are natural siblings) dearly, but she craves "adult time" after being with a "Kindergartener and a Toddler" 24/7.

Elizabeth! This is Wonderful that you are offering the Free Tickets contest again!

I was a winner from the Phantom (Loved It!), we really wished we could have taken my daughters once we saw the show. And we decided that night to find a way to have our daughters see the Nutcracker production.

Grace, our 6-year old, is stepping through Tippy Toes school of dance. She's in an advanced program, but she still seems mostly same-age performances. To be able to show her where the art can take a person,... it makes my heart grow just in anticipation.

I'd like to participate in the free tickets contest, I'm a Big Fan! (We've talked about IBC and the Phantom production all over the place!)

Alright, so you can hate on me all you want, I have never seen the Nutcracker, live or otherwise. I've listened to the music, everytime its on tv something always comes up. I was unable to attend Phantom because of my step-dad who had a family issue. However, should I win this time, it's guaranteed that I can go, no wasted tickets necessary. Again, I'd love to go see the Nutcracker and I'm sure ya'll will put on a great performance so if this is the chance i get to go see it, I'm going for it.

Thank you, Elizabeth and IBC for the tickets for Phantom of the Opera. As a person with dance experience, my wife was impressed with the simplicity and technique and the emotion of the dancers. A perfect way to spend Halloween! A high level of excellence, creativity and professionalism are marks of the IBC - Thank you!

Over the weekend, My husband and I had the opportunity to attend the Indiana Ballet Company's performance of Phantom of the Opera at the Walker Theater! This was the first time my husband and I have had the chance to attend a ballet together. We really loved it! The performers were wonderful and completely captivating. I hope to be able to attend more ballets in the future and I would highly recommend it to others! They even have performances of the Nutcracker coming during the holiday season!

Thank you so much to Elizabeth and the IBC for sharing the opportunity with Smaller Indiana members and smoosiers. It was a wonderful performance and a very awesome event for Halloween weekend!

Thanks!!!

My husband and I attended the Friday night showing and absolutely loved it. We've both never been to the ballet before, so we weren't really sure what to expect. It was wonderful, and now something we plan on doing more often together. Even without the storyline provided in the program, it was easy and enjoyable to tell what was happening through the dancing and the music.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you so much for hosting me and Jennifer Saturday night for the Phantom of the Opera performance by The Indiana Ballet Company. What a great way to spend Halloween! Being a graphics professional I personally enjoyed the intimate setting of The Madame Walker Theater as well as the beautiful presentation from the entire company. I especially liked the lighting. Bravo!

Went to the last night show of Phantom of the Opera. It was breath taking. There were many times I should have shared a bravo or applause but I was mesmerized by the performance. For those who were unable to attend you must go and see The Nutcracker. Even if you know nothing about the ballet you should enjoy it. My husband and I went as a date night, he has never been to a ballet and truly enjoyed it, the choreography was superb, the dance alive.
