The Nutcracker, A Family Tradition for 26 Years!

The North Shore School of Dance proudly presents the 26th annual production of The Nutcracker! Featuring dancers from Highland Park!

Children and adults have been fascinated with the tradition and fantasy of The Nutcracker for decades, and North Shore School of Dance (NSSD) will present it’s 26th annual production on Saturday, December 6th at 1:00 & 4:30p.m., and on Sunday, December 7th at 2:00p.m. Performances will be held at the Cressey Center at Lake Forest Academy, Lake Forest. Tickets are $22.00 for adults, and $15.00 for children and seniors. This production is appropriate for children of all ages, with each act being just over thirty minutes. For purchasing tickets, visit our website at www.northshoredance.com. This show sells out every year, so early purchase is recommended.

Hopeful dancers from the North Shore suburbs auditioned in September, over fifty were cast, and rehearsals began in September. Special guest artist Adam Houston (Giordano Dance Chicago) will dance the role of The Nutcracker prince, Kate Goddard (Chicago Repertory Ballet ) as the Arabian Princess, Robert McKee (formerly Giordano Dance Chicago) as the Mouse King, and Bruce Bloom of Deerfield brings his magic to the stage for his 16th year as Dresselmeier.
