Fort Wayne Ballet’s Impresario Society is an exclusive opportunity to be a catalyst for creativity. Society members and businesses enjoy a higher Fort Wayne Ballet experience through a host of rewards and privileges reserved for this leadership community in support of Fort Wayne Ballet. ($1000+ individuals, corps)
The Founders Circle Legacy recognizes a group of individuals and couples who provided a commitment to renew as a Society member for five years to help us launch our leadership efforts in 2018. Founders Circle members are forever remembered as the visionaries who established Fort Wayne Ballet’s Diaghilev Society, currently the Impresario Society, and a lasting legacy.
