What to Expect from Orangeburg Civic Ballet's 2026–2027 Season

Orangeburg Civic Ballet's 2026–2027 season centers on holiday performances of The Nutcracker and The Polar Express, with three showtimes in December: December 11 at 7:00pm, and December 12 at 11:00am and 3:30pm. Tickets go on sale in early November. If you want first access to online sales, join the company's mailing list, which the organization says provides company and production announcements along with early ticket access. The site does not list prices, venue details, or a direct ticket link, so those specifics will need to come from the company's announcements.

The Season's Main Productions

The company describes the 2026–2027 season as offering "unforgettable performances for audiences of all ages." The holiday program pairs two works:

The site presents these as a single holiday event rather than separate ticketed productions, so plan for one outing that includes both works unless the company announces otherwise.

When and How to Get Tickets

• Sale window: Tickets go on sale in early November. The site does not give an exact date.
• Early access: Joining the mailing list is described as the way to receive production announcements and first access to online sales.
• Current status: The events section shows "No events at the moment," which reflects the site's live calendar rather than the December schedule. Check back closer to November for the ticket listing.

Beyond the Stage: Company, Scholarships, and Outreach

The season also includes the newly announced 2026–2027 company members, whom the organization describes as dancers carrying forward its decades-long tradition. Three scholarships are available, all applied directly to tuition and each requiring a dance audition:

• Dr. Ann V. Hurst Memorial Scholarship — ages 9–13
• Myrtle McDaniel Memorial Scholarship — ages 14 through high school
• Kelly Blake Evans Memorial Scholarship — collegiate students pursuing dance studies

Applications are posted on the OCB Band (Files) when available. The company also runs educational outreach, including school performances, for students across the region.

Practical Notes for Planning

• The site does not state a venue, ticket prices, or seating details; confirm these through the mailing list or the company's announcements before making travel plans.
• December 12 has two showtimes, so families can choose a morning or afternoon slot.
• For anyone interested in dancing rather than watching, the scholarship track is the relevant entry point, and it involves an audition rather than an application alone.

For the most current information, the company's mailing list and its announcements page are the sources it points to for both schedule and sales updates.
