American Repertory Ballet presents the 60th Anniversary of The Nutcracker at McCarter Theatre Center

Description

American Repertory Ballet (ARB) proudly announces the return of its beloved production of The Nutcracker, celebrating an impressive 60-year milestone of captivating audiences and spreading holiday joy throughout New Jersey. As one of the longest-running productions in the United States, ARB's The Nutcracker has become a cherished tradition. The history of The Nutcracker at American Repertory Ballet dates back to 1963 when it premiered at McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton. This tradition began when William Lockwood, McCarter’s Special Programming Director at the time, suggested to the ballet’s founder Audrée Estey that they perform at McCarter every holiday season. The idea quickly became a reality.
