25 years ago, Ballet Fantastique began with one radical belief:
Every child deserves access to bold, original art—no matter what.

Against all odds, in one of the hardest moments for the arts in memory, that belief has only grown stronger.
And today, we need our community more than ever.

What We’re Doing:

A World Premiere Unlike Anything We’ve Attempted

• New 90-minute world premiere: The Little Mermaid: An ’80s Pop Ballet

• Live ’80s band + original choreography

• Two performances in the Hult Center’s incredible Silva Concert Hall

• Largest outreach show in our history: 2,000 kids

• Youth performers + radically accessible ticketing

• A story about bravery, transformation, and choosing your own future

• This production is our love letter to the next generation of artists and audiences

Why We Need You

Even in the most difficult year for arts organizations nationwide, we’ve never turned away a child for inability to pay.
And we aren’t going to start now. But to bring this world premiere to life—and to open the doors for thousands of young audience members—we need our community to rally behind us.Your support makes the impossible possible.
