Experience the magic of the holiday season as The Nutcracker returns to Aultsville Theatre for another unforgettable year!

Following the tremendous success of last year’s performances, Aultsville Theatre is thrilled to welcome back the professional dancers of Syracuse City Ballet for this beloved holiday tradition, brought to life alongside talented local youth dancers in collaboration with Powell School of Dance.

Journey with Clara as her magical Christmas Eve adventure unfolds, transporting audiences into a world of dancing snowflakes, battling mice, enchanting characters, and the dazzling Land of Sweets. Featuring breathtaking choreography, beautiful costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, The Nutcracker is a timeless celebration of imagination, wonder, and the spirit of the season.

Whether you’re introducing your little ones to the magic of ballet for the very first time or continuing a cherished family tradition, this spectacular production promises to create holiday memories that will last a lifetime.

As Aultsville Theatre celebrates its 50th Anniversary Season, we’re proud to bring this extraordinary production back to Cornwall and continue building a new holiday tradition for families across our region.
