We are thrilled to perform our 4th annual Everybody’s Nutcracker in the MHS Theatre, on Saturday morning, 12/14, 11:30am! Our advanced dancers will be performing an abbreviated Nutcracker for a very special audience! The performance will include excerpts from the Nutcracker, as well as a performance by our Rhythm Works dancers. The performance is FREE, and will be sensory friendly, house lights will remain warm, music will be played at reduced levels to accommodate sensitivities, and there will be no shushing allowed! Everyone should enjoy the show in their own way, and we invite guests to stay as long as they’re comfortable and move around as needed.
