Despite the challenges we continue to face, we have been able to find a way for the Nutcracker tradition to live on, in this, our 15th Anniversary. It’s more important than ever that we are able to bring audiences some festive joy and spirit this Christmas.

Amidst the ongoing effects of COVID-19, we are committed to following COVID Safety Protocols while providing the best theater patron experience for you.

Cleaning / Disinfecting Procedures
There will be cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, handrails, and armrest surfaces before and after the performances.

Physical Distancing
We encourage patrons to maintain a minimum of 6 feet of physical distance at all times.

Staff and Volunteer Screening
All our staff and volunteers will undergo temperature screening before reporting to work and will wear a mask or face covering while at work. In addition, gloves will be worn when there is not a contactless solution.

Sanitizing Stations
Hand sanitizer stations are positioned throughout the space as well as at the building entrances and other high-traffic areas.

Here’s What You Can Do
If you or anyone in your household have symptoms of COVID-19 or have received a positive test within the last 14 days, we kindly ask that you do not attempt to enter the building.

• have experienced symptoms in the last 14 days
• have been in close proximity to anyone who has experienced symptoms in the last 14 days
