Ballet Theatre Company
Continuing what has become an annual holiday tradition for many families in the Greater Hartford community, Ballet Theatre Company is pleased to announce its seventh Nutcracker season. Six performances will be offered from December 18 – 21. This year there will be four afternoon performances. All performances are at the Hoffman Auditorium at Saint Joseph College in West Hartford, CT.
Brett Raphael, Guest Artistic Director, returns to set his brilliant production, which premiered at the Hoffman Auditorium in 2006, on the Ballet Theatre Company dancers. Guest artists are from Connecticut Ballet in Stamford, CT, and seventy children from Ballet Theatre Academy and many dance schools in the area will be performing, including a group of fourth grade students from the Kinsella Arts magnet school in Hartford. Jessica Batten will return for the third year as the Sugar Plum Fairy. She has danced with New Jersey Dance Theater Ensemble, Cedar Lake II and Ballet Hispanico.
The theater lobby will be a collection point for the Salvation Army’s Toys for Tots program. Attendees are invited to bring a new, unwrapped toy to support this worthwhile endeavor.
