Thank You for Attending our 2024 Production of the Nutcracker!

We hope to see you next December!

Join the magic

Described as a “community treasure,” this Nutcracker is Northwest Arkansas’ most beloved holiday tradition. With a community cast of over 200 dance students and adult character artists and featuring the professional guest artists of NWA Ballet Theatre and others, YOU DO NOT want to miss this holiday classic for you and your family!

Join us for an enchanting evening with Clara as she receives her most treasured Christmas gift, a Nutcracker doll. Follow along as the Nutcracker comes to life in a dream and saves Clara from the grip of the evil Rat Queen and her mice minions with the help of an infantry of toy soldiers. Continue to journey with Clara and the Nutcracker prince through the wintry Snow Forest and into the kingdom of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her magical Land of Sweets.
