Northeast Youth Ballet's The Nutcracker

MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS CAST IN
NORTHEAST YOUTH BALLET’S PRODUCTION OF THE
NUTCRACKER

Local residents cast in the highly anticipated production.

Northeast Youth Ballet’s The Nutcracker is the enchanting journey of a young girl named Clara in 1835’s Germany who embarks on a journey through a winter wonderland to a palace of sugary sweets.  Featuring the talents of
more than 100 dancers who auditioned from the Greater Boston area, the production is set to be staged once again at the Lynn Memorial Auditorium, Lynn, Massachusetts. The newly renovated Lynn Memorial Auditorium has also hosted icons such as Julio Iglesias, Kenny Rogers, Bill Cosby and the Boston Pops.

This year, the dancers are privileged to share the stage
with professional – both national and international - guest artists hailing from China, Columbia, Canada, Hawaii and New York.

Now in its 15th year of production, the breathtaking sets, costumes and lighting are specially designed by professional artists in the field, and the community is buzzing with anticipation to witness this beloved holiday tradition that will return to Lynn this December.  Critics rave and past praises for NYB performances include The Boston Globe, The Medford Daily Mercury, WBZ Channel 4, The Lynn Item, and other local papers and cable channels.

The Nutcracker will run from Thursday, December 8 through Sunday December 11, 2011.  Tickets are $26.00 for adults and $23 for children and seniors (tickets include a $1.00 auditorium fee) and may be obtained through the theater Box Office at Lynn Memorial Auditorium.  Groups of 20 or more and students are eligible for discounted tickets at $22.00. For those who qualify, complimentary tickets are also available through NYB’s S.T.A.R.S. Program, a community outreach program created to encourage and
educate children and individuals of all ages who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the ballet.  This group includes students, senior citizens, special needs organizations and military families from the inner city and surrounding communities.

A delightful story which includes a battle with mice,
mischief, magic and a beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy dancing in her Palace of Sweets, The Nutcracker has something
for the whole family.

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so reserve yours now!
