The American Holiday Classic: Roxey Ballet’s Nutcracker

Roxey Ballet is proud to present the 30th Anniversary of its beloved holiday classic: Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.
This acclaimed production has become a treasured tradition for families, community members, and holiday visitors alike.
Join Clara as she leads you on an enchanting journey filled with magical mice, giant rats, marching soldiers, swirling snowflakes, waltzing flowers, and the radiant Sugar Plum Fairy. Stunning costumes and beautifully crafted sets draw audiences of all ages into this heartwarming story, capturing the true spirit of the season.
And the magic doesn’t stop there!
✨ Santa Claus and his jolly friends make a special appearance BEFORE the performance.
✨ Giant teddy bears, holiday characters, and whimsical surprises bring extra delight to young audience members.
✨ Enjoy an optional pre-performance workshop, perfect for children who want to explore movement, learn about the story, and meet performers up close.
✨ On December 5, we proudly present our Relaxed Sensory-Friendly Matinee, designed to welcome individuals of all abilities—with adjusted lighting, softer sound, and a supportive, judgment-free environment.
With its joyful atmosphere, interactive moments, and thoughtful accessibility features, Roxey Ballet presents the most child-friendly Nutcracker experience around—a magical holiday tradition your family will remember for years.
