For over 30 years, families across the Philadelphia region have made this enchanting performance part of their holiday tradition. From the moment the Christmas tree grows and the toy soldiers come to life, your children will be spellbound by the grace and excitement of this timeless tale.
Performed by the talented students of the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet—alongside professional guest artists from the Philadelphia Ballet — this production brings The Nutcracker to life with breathtaking choreography, stunning costumes, and a full theatrical experience that’s both professional and family-friendly.
The magic isn’t just on stage—it’s in the audience, too. Many parents say The Nutcracker is their child’s first introduction to live theatre performance or classical music, sparking a lifelong love of the arts. With performances designed for young audiences (90 minutes with an intermission) and affordable ticket prices, it’s the perfect way to start the holiday season together.
