The Nutcracker Events

The Central Wisconsin School of Ballet’s The Nutcracker is a holiday event for the whole family. Be sure to enjoy all of the fun events we are hosting in The Grand Theater’s Great Hall before and after the performances.

Children can take a ballet lesson with Clara before and meet The Nutcracker characters after the Saturday and Sunday matinée performances.

Children can create Nutcracker crafts before the Saturday evening performance.

Adults can peruse and bid on the holiday gift items featured in our silent auction.
