The Nutcracker Sweet
Directed by Meredith Ventura

December 4-6, 2026

This holiday season, Novus Contemporary Ballet invites you to experience The Nutcracker like never before! The Nutcracker Sweet is a delightfully irreverent reimagining of the beloved holiday classic, blending classical ballet, contemporary dance, theatrical comedy, and a little holiday mischief. Meet a thoroughly modern Clara, her fraternity-boy brother Fritz, and a cast of outrageous characters as a holiday party spirals into an unexpected adventure filled with magic, mayhem, and plenty of surprises.

More than just a performance, The Nutcracker Sweet is an intimate, immersive holiday celebration! Enjoy festive cocktails, mocktails, and sweet treats before the show, during intermission, and after the final curtain. With interactive theatrical moments, imaginative choreography, and a playful twist on tradition, this one-of-a-kind production invites audiences to become part of the festivities.

Whether you're a lifelong Nutcracker fan or looking for a fresh way to celebrate the season, The Nutcracker Sweet promises an unforgettable evening of dance, laughter, and holiday magic. Come for the ballet. Stay for the sweets!
