27th Annual Nutcracker Ballet at Wynona Thompson Auditorium

RMDT's production of the Nutcracker brings the classic Nutcracker tale to life. It is a magical night about an enchanted Christmas Party where Clara is the guest of honor. After the party, the audience is witness to Clara's vivid dreams about her Nutcracker who comes to her rescue and then brings her to a magical land of dancing snowflakes and sugar treats.

Join us for Rocky Mountain Dance Theatre's 27th Annual full-length production of The Nutcracker Ballet set to Tchaikovsky's famous score. Choreography, sets, and lighting are all original, led by professionals in their field. Along with a large cast of performers from our local community and surrounding areas RMDT is proud to announce the return of Randy Pacheco for his 6th year as guest artist. Soloists with Ballet Arizona, Randy will be performing the role of Cavalier, dancing the Grand Pas with RMDT/RMSA’s very own Alumni Jessica McNeil as Sugar Plum Fairy.

In 2022, RMDT completed the dream of the new set designed by Casey Kearns that has been in the works for years. The vision of “Setting the Stage” for the next 25 year’s of Cody’s very own Nutcracker ballet is complete but campaign donations are still needed to fund this dream and greatly appreciated.
