It’s the first Nutcracker of the season and it certainly isn’t going to be the last.
This weekend, Ballet Theatre of Ohio presents its 32nd years of performing the popular holiday ballet set to the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, taking place for six performances at the Akron Civic Theatre. This traditional version of the full-length, two-act ballet features all the sets, sparkly costumes, and stage filled with row after row of exquisite dancers that have enchanted generations of kids, as well as a second act with colorful feature dances including the eagerly anticipated Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy.
And they’re making it a full get-in-the-holiday-spirit experience with a Santa’s workshop filled with toys in the lobby, and the chance to take pictures with Santa or in front of the twelve-foot Nutcracker Tree. Nutcracker sweets will be available in the lobby as well, and you can shop the boutique where you can choose from 100 different nutcrackers, the perfect souvenir of the evening.
