30 Years of Magic. One Timeless Tradition.
For three decades, Indiana Ballet Theatre has been bringing the magic of The Nutcracker to life—where snowflakes dance, toy soldiers march, sweets come to life, and Clara’s Christmas dream becomes a holiday tradition! This year, we’re celebrating 30 magical years of IBT’s The Nutcracker. Join us this season in continuing your holiday tradition.

Whether it’s your first time experiencing this holiday classic or a cherished family tradition, The Nutcracker promises an unforgettable celebration of imagination, music, and dance.
Under the direction of Founding Artistic Director, Gloria Tuohy and Artistic Director, Amanda Tuohy, participants range in ages from 4 to 74. Watch in awe as our cast of more than 100 take to the stage and bring this classic to life.
