Loyce Houlton’s Nutcracker Fantasy is performed to a live orchestra at the historic State Theatre, December 12-20. This experience is designed to complement and enhance students’ ongoing training at their “home” studios. In 2025, more than 100 dancers from 20+ local schools joined the production, bringing this cherished holiday tradition to life for an audience of thousands.
