A beloved holiday tradition, Nittany Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker will transport you to a magical world where life-sized toy soldiers fight giant mice, snowflakes dance, and the Sugar Plum Fairy welcomes young Clara to the Nutcracker's kingdom to meet the characters from the Land of the Sweets.

Nittany Ballet, the dance division of the Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania, is the preeminent classical ballet school in Centre County.

Paul Gibson, Nittany Ballet’s new artistic director and former principal dancer with the Pacific Northwest Ballet, brings a magical and revisioned telling to this year’s production that is sure to delight audiences and bring the holiday cheer.
