T. A. Hoffmann. 

The ballet is directed by Kenneth Beck and choreographed by Kimberly Matulich-Beck with Jefferson Ballet Theatre.

It's time for toy soldiers, the Mouse King, and the Sugar Plum Fairy! 


Experience these classic characters again this holiday season as part of the fantastical journey with The Nutcracker. Travel to the Land of Sweets with Clara as she befriends a nutcracker who comes to life on Christmas Eve to wage a battle against the evil Mouse King.
