About LUBBOCK BALLET INC

Founded in 1969 as Lubbock Civic Ballet, Ballet Lubbock is a private, nonprofit organization that strives to be an integral component of Lubbock’s cultural fabric. Lubbock Civic Ballet’s debut performance was a collaboration with the Texas Tech Symphony Orchestra and the Amarillo Civic Ballet. As the Avalanche-Journal’s Jack Sheridan states, “It was an evening that was not only the beginning of a new era of culture in Lubbock, but also a night to remember and a pattern set for the future.”

For the next several years the school and repertoire season grew to include children’s ballets and divertissements from Act II of The Nutcracker. In 1978, The Nutcracker, was performed for the first time in its entirety. Beginning with this first production, Ballet Lubbock’s Nutcracker enjoyed live orchestral accompaniment.
