Proceeds from the 2022 Nutcracker Performance will go to Benefit the People of Ukraine
The 29th Annual Nutcracker Performance is dedicated to Assisting the People of Ukraine. This is a cause close to our hearts as we have shared the stage with many dancers from all parts of the Ukraine over the years and will do everything we can to continue that tradition. Please join us as a youth dancer or as an audience member and we thank you for your support!

We invite and encourage all youth dancers from Lancaster County ballet schools to audition and support the dancers and people from Ukraine.
