As southern California’s largest and most spectacular production, critically acclaimed IPB’s endearing interpretation of The Nutcracker has become a holiday tradition for thousands of families with dazzling sets, beautiful costumes, and more than 80 dancers on stage. The annual holiday favorite tells the story of a young girl named Clara who receives a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve, and sets out on a wondrous journey to the Land of the Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets.
Inland Pacific Ballet will perform its spectacular 20th annual production of The Nutcracker November 29-30 at the Arcadia Performing Arts Center, December 6-7 at the Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga, December 12-21 at the Bridges Auditorium in Claremont, and for the first time at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside for two shows on December 27.
Founded in 1994 by Southern California natives Victoria Koenig and Kevin Myers, the Inland Pacific Ballet has become one of southern California’s cultural jewels. Its mission is to build and sustain a professional ballet company of national stature in the Inland Empire of Southern California, committed to producing exquisitely staged productions of full-length classic story ballets as well as presenting the best in contemporary choreography.
