More About Indiana Youth Ballet Presents: The Nutcracker
The magic of Christmas is returning to Northwest Indiana!
For 30 years, Indiana Youth Ballet's The Nutcracker has been a treasured holiday tradition for families throughout Northwest Indiana and Illinois — and this Christmas, we invite you to become part of it.
Follow Clara on her magical Christmas Eve adventure as her Nutcracker comes to life, mischievous mice fill the stage, snow begins to fall, and she journeys to the enchanting Land of Sweets.
More than 100 young performers will bring this beloved story to life with beautiful dancing, spectacular costumes and scenery, our breathtaking Snow Scene, life-size mice, and our incredible growing Christmas tree — a favorite that has amazed audiences for generations.
Since Indiana Youth Ballet first presented The Nutcracker in 1996, more than 95,000 audience members have shared in this holiday tradition. For many families, attending The Nutcracker isn't simply a performance they see at Christmastime — it has become part of Christmas itself.
Whether this is your family's first Nutcracker or a tradition you've shared with us for years, we can't wait to welcome you as we celebrate 30 years of holiday magic.
Come make a Christmas memory with us.
Tickets are available for two shows:
Saturday, November 21 at 5:00 pm
