New Jersey Ballet will mark its 47th Anniversary with a Gala performance at NJPAC’s Prudential Hall on Thursday, April 6 at 7:00 p.m.  The Company will use the occasion to honor Senator and former Governor Richard Codey and Mary Jo Codey.

“The Gala is a chance for everyone to enjoy an evening of ballet and to thank the Codeys for all they have done for the state of New Jersey,”  said New Jersey Ballet Director Carolyn Clark.

The performance will feature two ballets by Ali Pourfarrokh. Facets, which premiered at NJPAC in 1992, and Ariel, which premiered later that same year and catapulted New Jersey Ballet onto the prestigious Star-Ledger Top 10 List.  The program will be filled out with some of the greatest pas de deux in the repertory.

Gala festivities surround the April 6 performance. Ballet Board member P.J. Hilbert of Basking Ridge, a Senior VP at JPMorgan Chase, is chairing the event, which is New Jersey Ballet’s most important fund raising event of the year.  In addition to the performance, gala plans include a Cocktail Reception at 6PM, and a formal dinner immediately following the performance. Corporate Tables range from $6,000 to $15,000, with different benefits at each level. Individual Gala Patron Tickets are $600 (with preferred seating, cocktails and dinner) and $200 (cocktails and performance only). Advertising space in the Souvenir Journal and special sponsorship opportunities are also available. Souvenir Journal ads are also printed in New Jersey Ballet’s regular playbill at no extra cost. The playbill will be distributed at New Jersey Ballet performances statewide throughout the 2006-2007 season. New Jersey Ballet is a not-for-profit performing arts organization based in Livingston, New Jersey.
