Two years ago when I was asked to be the President of the Central Ballet Theatre Board of Directors, it was easy to say yes. With a group of dedicated volunteers throughout our community, a dedicated board, and hard-working determined students, all led by a very talented Ballet Mistress and Artistic Director who uses Christian principles everyday to guide all that she does, the answer was easy, it was yes. Central Ballet Theatre is a group of dancers, volunteers, parents and interested citizens who together under the direction of Lori Ann Sparks' vision have produced inspirational and moving original ballets every year since 2003.

CBT has built over the last five years a reputation for excellence, attracting more and more students and larger and larger audiences, many of whom have never before seen a ballet. In 2007 Central Ballet Theatre of Greeneville was added to Tusculum College's Acts, Arts, & Academia line up, a true testament to the quality of work that is being done within the organization. As we look forward to our sixth original ballet Prince Caspian, CBT will continue to inspire and uplift the lives of both the CBT dancers as well as the citizens of Greeneville/ Greene County and the surrounding areas. We are all blessed to be a part of this organization, and I am proud to be part of this Board of Directors.
