Join BalletX for an evening of glamour, mystery, and intrigue as we celebrate the launch of our 2026-2027 Season!
Featuring the world premiere of Loughlan Prior’s Speakeasy, the Season Opening Gala will transport you to Prohibition-era Philadelphia, where jazz fills the air, cocktails flow, and secrets wait to be discovered.
Enjoy exceptional food and a full bar by 12th Street Catering, plus specialty drinks from 13th Street Cocktails, before the curtain rises on Speakeasy, an intoxicating new work premiering at Fall Series 2026 and inspired by Philadelphia’s underground nightlife. After the performance, keep the celebration going with drinks and dancing alongside BalletX artists past and present.
Gather your friends, don your best ’20s-inspired attire, and join us for a night of dance, cocktails, and a little mischief.
It’s Election Night – vote early, then come and let loose!
