Support
“The Monterey Peninsula Ballet Theatre has had a profound impact on my life, shaping me both artistically and personally. I know that I would not be where I am today without the perseverance and adaptability that MPBT instilled in me; for this I have a deep sense of gratitude. I will forever cherish the unforgettable memories and the unyielding support system that is MPBT!”
Grace Lino, 2018 Sugar Plum Fairy
