Nimbus Dance in Jersey Nutcracker - Preview Performances
315B Springfield Ave. Summit, NJ
Saturday, December 12 1 pm & 6 pm
Sunday, December 13 1 pm
Nimbus Dance’s Jersey Nutcracker takes Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic on a joyride through the Garden State. Two kids from different sides of town discover a magical nutcracker in a mysterious golden suitcase, sending them racing through city streets and back alleys, down a magical manhole, and into a vision of their city they never imagined.
From the elegance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to dazzling jazzy choreography and laugh-out-loud funny characters, Jersey Nutcracker is a celebration of community, imagination, and the joy of the season.
Nimbus’ acclaimed professional dancers share the stage with young performers from across the state, bringing the full story and choreography to life. Beneath all the mischief and magic, two kids learn to see their city, and each other, with new eyes, in a world where kindness can change the course of a battle and the place they call home becomes brighter than they ever imagined.
About these performances: These Summit showings are intimate previews of Jersey Nutcracker, presented in a simpler production format ahead of our full theater run at Loew’s Jersey Theatre. They feature the complete cast and choreography, with scaled-down staging and technical elements. The focus here is on the dancers, their artistry, and the joy of sharing this holiday tradition.
