Photo Contest: We Have a Winner!

Congratulations to Kerry Brown Turner, who won two tickets to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's production of 'Coppelia' by submitting this photo.

The photographer that captured the image to the right has won a pair of tickets to attend the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's production of "Coppelia" at The Benedum Center.
