The benefit will recognize Ice Theatre’s board member, Joan Erdheim, for her contributions as a tireless volunteer for both Ice Theatre and the arts world in New York City.
One of America's most popular and versatile performers, Nancy Kerrigan is known for her beauty and great artistry on ice. Nancy has gone far beyond her results on the ice, becoming one of the more prolific post Olympic career skaters and co-producers with shows like Halloween on Ice, and Footloose on Ice. Always trying to be at the forefront of new developments, Nancy is currently the voice of the Icenetwork.com, which is the online home of US figure skating. In addition Nancy has her own show on Comcast CN8 called Nancy Kerrigan's World of Skating, promoting skating on all levels. Nancy is a mother of three and in 2002 she was chosen as Mother of the Year by the Mother's Day Foundation. In 2004 Nancy was inducted into the Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
The evening will support Ice Theatre’s New Works and Young Artists Series, an outreach program for public school children, as well as all of our 2008-2009 season's artistic programming.

Nancy Kerrigan to Wear Costumes by Designs to Shine
PINELLAS PARK, FL (September 25, 2007)- Introduced on the set at FOX's Skating With Celebrities, Nancy Kerrigan decided that the gowns created by Designs to Shine for ballroom dancing would be perfect for some of her skating numbers. According to Nancy, "I loved the fact that Maria could introduce something new and creative to skating design. The ballroom gowns are so eye catching that I thought it would be interesting to incorporate some of their design and functionality into my skating dresses".
Designs to Shine by Maria McGill has been the leading design company in the Ballroom dance industry for over ten years.Famous for the amazing fit and originality of each custom gown, Designs to Shine was chosen to create all of the gowns for the premier season of Dancing with the Stars, the Dancing with the Stars Rematch Special, So You Think You Can Dance, and Ballroom Bootcamp. Being chosen to design for Skating with Celebrities was McGill's first foray into the exciting world of professional ice skating and has lead Designs to Shine to working closely with skating legend Nancy Kerrigan.
"The custom green costume created for Nancy to wear for Kristi Yamaguchi Friends & Family was inspired not only by the music, but by our desire to introduce classic designs with a contemporary, unexpected twist" said Ms McGill. Nancy will also wear a Designs to Shine creation at the upcoming Frosted Pink event to take place October 6 in Los Angeles. For more on Designs to Shine go to www.designstoshine.com.
