CORRECTION! 50th Annual Nutcracker in 2013!
| |
How embarrassing...A recent, careful unearthing of archives has uncovered that the 50th annual Nutcracker at McCarter Theater is to be celebrated in 2013, not 2012!
The History: While Audrée Estey first choreographed and produced a version of The Nutcracker in 1956 and 1962 at McCarter Theatre, it was done as a spring production in those early years! The first Holiday performance was co-produced by McCarter in 1964 and has been done every year since then, making it one of our community's great Holiday Traditions. So, please stay tuned for our 50th Annual Production of The Nutcracker in 2013!
Princeton Ballet School and ARB Alums: We now have even more time to gather cherished archival materials to make this event extra special. If you would like to get involved, please contact Alumni Relations Coordinator Lisa de Ravel at:
