New Ballet receives $15,000 grant for theater renovations

New Ballet has received a $15,000 grant from the Rotary Club of San José. The funds will help transform Mohr Studio into a black box theater, enhancing its use beyond just rehearsals for the professional company. The grant will cover electrical work and professional lighting installation. Once completed, the space will be renamed the Rotary Club of San José Black Box Theatre. This new theater will expand New Ballet's educational programs and provide more opportunities for artists to create and present their work. It will also enable the company to livestream its performances.
