It’s a treasured holiday tradition for many families around the Northwest. Going to see The Nutcracker. For one of the area’s best performances, consider attending Tacoma City Ballet’s production. Presented with original scenery and costumes as it first debuted in Russia in 1892, Tacoma City Ballet performs The Nutcracker at the Pantages Theater.
The Nutcracker will be performed on December 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st at 2 pm, and at 7 pm on December 19th.
