NEW! Flash Slide Show

A gift for everyone during the Holidays, our NUTCRACKER has become a yearly festive tradition for thousands of children and families throughout the Bay Area. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed it as "The Bay Area's Best" and "...one of the most entertaining 'Nutcrackers' anywhere in the country."

With its whimsical costumes and scenery, huge cast of professional dancers and a battalion of mice, this spectacularly colorful production is fresh and new with each and every viewing.

Hear Tchaikovsky's great score performed by Symphony Silicon Valley, let the dream of THE NUTCRACKER take you on a magical journey through a wondrous snowstorm to far away lands. Thrill to the surprise ending that has audiences on their feet. Don't miss this treasured
Holiday classic.

THE NUTCRACKER will warm your heart!

Choreography: DENNIS NAHAT
Music: PETER ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY
Costumes and Scenery: DAVID GUTHRIE
Lighting: KENNETH KEITH
