The New Albany School of Ballet will present its annual Christmas production, “The Nutcracker,” on December 2nd-3rd, at the Magnolia Civic Center.

Since its composition in 1892 by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker has been performed on stage countless times, and plays an essential role in the magic of the holiday season.

Local students of the New Albany School of Ballet will be joined by guest artists Jake Casey and Chris Linger, of the Cincinnati Ballet, and Dolan Shoemaker, formerly a member of Ballet Mississippi.

Tickets are now on sale.
