Philadelphia Dance Theatre and MCCC present: A Philadelphia Nutcracker

Philadelphia Dance Theatre and Montgomery County Community College's Montco Cultural Center present "A Philadelphia Nutcracker."

"A Philadelphia Nutcracker" is a holiday classic that will stir your heart and imagination. Come on a magical journey from a postcard-perfect Christmas Eve through a snowy evergreen forest to an enchanted Kingdom of Sweets reminiscent of times gone by.

With choreography by Joy Delaney-Capponi, "A Philadelphia Nutcracker" is set in Victorian-era Northwest Philadelphia. The production features backdrops of authentic period streetscapes, storefronts, and homes from Germantown, Mt. Airy, and Chestnut Hill, created by local artist Christopher Fox. The traditional party scene in Act I is now set in the Thomas Mansion on Wissahickon Avenue—a Gothic-style home built in 1869—and the Land of the Snow Queen unfolds at “Tommy’s Hill,” the Northwest’s favorite sledding spot in Fairmount Park. Act II highlights several Germantown Avenue merchants, where Clara and her Prince explore the shops and sample sweets from local bakers and candy makers.

Let the magic of "A Philadelphia Nutcracker" fill your heart and inspire your holiday season.
