I found it uniquely special to see the result of all the work the ABT administrative and artistic teams put in day after day, year round. Working on office work during the day and getting to come to the theatre at night was a delightful compliment. With five weeks and countless performances, it would be dishonest to say the complimentary ballet tickets and access to interfacing with ABT members and patrons wasn’t a highlight of the summer. This summer season brought ABT’s return to the Metropolitan Opera House stage for the first time since the pandemic, and what a season it was. This was a very exciting summer to join the major gifts department. Additionally, making the move from my development experience to the specificity of a major gifts office seemed like a natural step in my growth in this development space. My background and love of dance coupled with ABT’s wide-reach and impressive engagement with national and international audiences led to the perfect fit. ![]() I then desired to build upon the skills I developed there and apply them on a bigger scale at a larger performing arts non-profit. Last spring I participated in an internship centered on development for a regional equity theatre company.
