It is the mission of MBT to contribute to our community by helping improve the quality of life through ballet. Our vision is to be one of the drivers of the development of our community as an arts destination, drawing audiences from other parts of Virginia, DC and further afield.

Key to this development is MBT's new performance home, the Community Performing Arts Center at George Mason University's PWC Campus. This 10 story, $56,000,000 facility is scheduled to open in early 2009. This state of the art facility is specifically designed to enhance the audiences viewing experience and will be one of the finest venues in the nation.

To serve our audience and community in a manner befitting such a wonderful venue, the Company plans to continue improving. That means growing the Company, new costumes and better scenery.

Another part of Manassas Ballet Theatre's mission is our Educational Outreach program. In it we provide performances to area schoolchildren free of charge to the school and students. Annually, several thousand local students receive a broadening cultural experience that few would otherwise have. In the future MBT hopes to expand this program into a weekly class at every elementary school in the community.
