The real numbers are??

                                 

                BALLET X

Saturday, September 28 – 8:00 pmPerformances are in the Academic Arts Theatre.

Philadelphia’s premier contemporary ballet company unites world-class choreographers with an outstanding company of professional dancers forging new works of athleticism, emotion, and grace.With the daring vision of its award-winning founders and artistic directors, Christine Cox and Matthew Neenan, BalletX challenges the boundaries of classical ballet while preserving rigorous technique.

*(This project is partially supported by a grant from Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour, a program developed and funded by The Heinz Endowments; the William Penn Foundation; the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency; and The Pew Charitable Trusts; and administered
by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation.)

Tickets are $22 (general admission), $20 (students/seniors/fac-staff), and $16 (children under 13). 

Ballet X seems like a wonderful event that is coming to our very own Academic Arts Theater. However, a few questions come to mind when such event is taking place in our very own Academic Arts Theater.
-Where is money coming from to support such event?
-How much is the event costing the school?
-Who choses what events to bring to campus and which ones not to?
-Why are tickets so expensive?
-What is it that students are suppose to get out of such event?

It has been to my knowledge that every registered student has a fee of $10 for a little something called "Smart Arts". Now considered all the registered students that are in Westchester Community College and its extension center, its a big chunk of money. But do you ever wonder what that money goes to? And what is "Smart Arts" after all? It has also been said that the fee for Smart Arts is used to pay such events like Ballet X. But what are the number after all?
