"NEWDO and the Weidner Center have a shared mission dedicated to high quality artistic work, so this is a natural fit. We couldn't be more pleased to add the talent of the Weidner Philharmonic to the long running Green Bay Nutcracker Ballet. Already a tradition in our community, we are honored to contribute live orchestral accompaniment and the beautiful, celebratory ambience of Cofrin Family Hall to this magical holiday event." Says Kelli Strickland, Executive and Artistic Director of the Weidner Center.

Timothy Josephs, NEWDO's Artistic Director, echoes the excitement. "For sixteen years, it has been my greatest pleasure to work with incredible dancers representing many different schools, communities and dance studios. I am sure you will be as delighted by their talent as I am. It is with great pride that our local dancers share the stage with former students who return from prestigious training programs and companies to share their professionalism and inspire the next generation. Above all, it is the audience that makes our shows a success. But none of this would be possible without an audience. We are grateful for the many families who have woven our performances into their holiday traditions. We hope to celebrate together at the Weidner Center for many years to come."
