On March 14, 2020, American Repertory Ballet (ARB) will celebrate our 65th anniversary of excellence in dance at our annual Gala. This year we are thrilled to celebrate our move into the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center as well, with a featured ARB performance at the Elizabeth Ross Johnson Theater. Dinner and both silent and live auctions complete the evening at the Heldrich Hotel.

This year’s gala will honor Dinesh Dhanaraj, MD, MSPH and Lear & Pannepacker, LLP for their generous commitment to the organization. Additionally, Lindsay Cahill, beloved teaching artist and Coordinator of Access & Enrichment and DANCE POWER, will be presented with the 2020 Audrée Estey Award for Excellence in Dance Education.

An evening of great food, wonderful company, and of course, beautiful dancing, our Gala attracts over 200 influential residents from Central New Jersey who support our mission to bring the joy, beauty, artistry, and discipline of classical and contemporary dance to New Jersey and beyond. Each year we recognize members of the community who have impacted not only ARB, but the arts community as a whole.
