Our Production 

Our production takes place at the Lund Auditorium of Dominican University in beautiful River Forest, Illinois.  We offer weekday performances so that school-aged children have the opportunity to see our production at a greatly reduced cost.  Our weekend performances feature guest artists that have hailed from ABT, New York City Ballet, St. Louis Ballet, The Boston Ballet, and The Kirov Ballet, among others.  

Our 2025 season will mark our landmark 40th Anniversary, cementing us as the longest running production of “The Nutcracker” in Chicagoland.

We offer reduced rates for groups, seniors, and field trips.  With a cast of 120, spectacular scenery and costuming, and dazzling special effects, our production is the perfect holiday tradition that's not to be missed!
