This year marks the 31st Anniversary of The Nutcracker at TJC. To celebrate this milestone, we will be performing at the Caldwell Auditorium in Tyler, TX! Rayleigh Vendt and Walker Martin from the Oklahoma City Ballet will join our cast of over 100 TJC and community performers to perform the roles of Sugarplum and her Cavalier.
In addition to five performances, one abbreviated school show will be performed for school-aged children and home-schooled students on December 6th at 11 a.m.. These performances educate and enrich community members who may not otherwise get the opportunity to see live dance and music. If your school is interested in this abbreviated performance please contact Carolyn Hanna at chan3@tjc.edu. The Nutcracker is the perfect way to introduce young children to the power and beauty of classical music and dance!
For information on how to donate to this exciting production, contact Carolyn Hanna, 903-510-2483 or chan3@tjc.edu
