Nevada Ballet Theatre is thrilled to announce Eva Longoria
as its ‘Woman of the Year’. An actress, producer, philanthropist
and activist, Longoria will accept this honor during the
company’s annual fundraiser on Saturday, January 28, 2012
at ARIA Resort & Casino, CityCenter Las Vegas.
“Eva is a talented performer who maintains a giving spirit
in her career,” said NBT Co-Founder and Co-Chairwoman Nancy
Houssels. “Her charitable work is impressive, specifically
her work with “Eva’s Heroes” which she founded. We are excited
to celebrate her many accomplishments, shed light on her
philanthropic endeavors – a side not often seen by the public –
and welcome her as a part of the NBT family.”
One of the Las Vegas premier social events since 1985,
the Black & White Ball is the annual fundraiser for Nevada
Ballet Theatre, the state’s largest professional ballet
company. Each year the company honors a female entertainer
as its “Woman of the Year.” These accomplished women are
recognized for positively impacting the performing arts
and often have a special connection to Las Vegas.
Attended by over 600 guests, the event garners significant
media attention on the local and national level. Proceeds
from the event enable Nevada Ballet Theatre to present
professional company dance productions, provide quality
dance instruction within its affiliated Academy and expose
students in at-risk communities to the art form of dance
through its outreach program, “Future Dance”.
Touted as the “crème de la crème” of society events by
Luxury Las Vegas Magazine, the Black & White Ball is one
of the most highly attended events of the social season,
hosting an array of local celebrities, dignitaries, VIP’s
and arts supporters. Since 1985, this star-studded gala has
enabled NBT to present professional company dance productions,
quality dance instruction within its affiliated Academy.
Past honorees of the Black & White Ball include luminaries
of the stage and screen such as Debbie Reynolds, Chita Rivera,
