Chances are high that you’ll be admitted.

History of our nutcracker

The Nutcracker Ballet

Producing and presenting “The Nutcracker” ballet  for the very first time in 2010 was a dream come true for Rachel Tan, Director of Rachel’s Ballet. Each year since 2010, we have been invited back by the Temple Hill Cultural Arts Committee to perform our FREE full-length Nutcracker ballet*.  The Temple Hill Symphony Orchestra sometimes provides live music for our ballet. All performances are offered free to the public, and quickly “sell out” each year.
