Presented by: Southern Ballet Theatre

Southern Ballet Theatre proudly presents a spectacular celebration of its 50th Anniversary with a dazzling double bill this Christmas: the timeless holiday classic The Nutcracker and the bold, contemporary production Light It Up.

These unforgettable performances will showcase Southern Ballet Theatre’s talented dancers in a breathtaking display of dance, light, and storytelling.

Audiences of all ages will be enchanted by The Nutcracker, a beloved ballet that captures the magic and wonder of the festive season. From the sparkling snowflakes to the Sugar Plum Fairy, this production promises to delight with its stunning costumes, captivating new choreography, and heartwarming story.

In contrast, Light It Up offers a powerful modern dance experience that explores the emotional and visual journey of life. Through innovative lighting, dynamic movement, and transformative staging, this new work highlights the creativity and evolution of Southern Ballet Theatre over the past five decades.
