Next Performance
Our 40-year tradition of adding magic to Milwaukee’s holiday season continues with The Nutcracker: Short & Sweet. This abbreviated adaptation of our seasonal classic was created by Artistic Director Michael Pink to share a bit of holiday cheer during these challenging times. This original work features variations from the traditional production and guided narration by the toymaker, Drosselmeyer.
The production is available to view On Demand. Opportunities for limited, in-person performances are available to current subscribers.
