The performing company and students from Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania will once again present The Nutcracker on Saturday, Dec. 13, and Sunday, Dec. 14, at Eisenhower Auditorium, located on the Penn State campus.
This year’s performances continue to follow the traditional story of “The Nutcracker,” in what has become a holiday tradition for Centre County residents. Guest artist Bradley Rhoton, a PASCP alumnus, returns as Snow King and Cavalier. Rhoton will perform in both shows.
During “The Nutcracker,” the audience will enter a magical world where toy soldiers come to life, snowflakes dance across the stage, and the Sugar Plum Fairy guides a young girl on an enchanted adventure through the Land of the Sweets. With stunning choreography, beautiful costumes and Tchaikovsky’s traditional score, “The Nutcracker” is the perfect holiday tradition for all families.
A special prelude concert will be performed by Central Pennsylvania Youth Orchestra.
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 13 and for 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 14. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by calling (800) ARTS-TIX.
