The iconic tale of “The Nutcracker” will return to Eisenhower Auditorium this winter. Nittany Ballet students from the Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania will take the stage at 7 p.m. on Saturday, December 13, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 14.

This year’s performance promises a new level of magic, featuring updated costumes, expanded choreography, and a larger cast of dancers. Under the direction of Paul Gibson, the 2025 production incorporates “significant improvements” that will highlight the growing confidence and skill of the student dancers. 

With its renewed energy and creative refinements, this year’s “Nutcracker” cast invites audiences to experience the renewed enchantment of this beloved ballet tradition.
