She secured the International Ballet Competition (IBC) for the City of Jackson in 1979 as part of her development strategy. THALIA MARA HALL was chosen as the IBC's official home in the United States after a law passed by Congress. Thalia Mara Hall is where the competition takes place every four years. The Jackson Municipal Auditorium was given the new name "Thalia Mara Hall" by THALIA MARA HALL City Council in 1994.
