UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania will present two performances of “The Nutcracker” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, in Eisenhower Auditorium. Guest artist Bradley Rhoton, a former student of the Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania, will return to the stage as the Snow King and Cavalier.
“The Nutcracker” transports audiences into a magical world in which toy soldiers come to life, snowflakes dance across the stage and the Sugar Plum Fairy guides a young girl, Clara, on an enchanted adventure through the Land of the Sweets. With stunning choreography, beautiful costumes and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s musical score, “The Nutcracker” has become a holiday tradition for people of all ages.
The Central Pennsylvania Youth Orchestra will perform a prelude concert for “The Nutcracker” attendees.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $10 for children and students with ID. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 814-863-0255 or 800-ARTS-TIX.
