A FEW WORDS FROM MADISON ABEO

Just published in the Classic Tutu blog, a few words from Madison Abeo, a young dancer who performed at DOORS two years ago:

'I was also asked to work with STG/Paramount for their annual DOORS fundraising event, where I was honored to have Olivier Wevers choreograph a piece for me to perform, and PNB was nice enough to loan me a costume. I was the only classically trained ballet dancer highlighted that night, and I got to meet some amazing people that donate to the arts.'

YOUR MESSAGE ON THE PARAMOUNT MARQUEE

Only at DOORS can you place the winning bid and get to put your message up on The Paramount marquee. (Date is flexible and pending availability.)
