Westchester Ballet Company’s Nutcracker is a big, bold, full-length production of this holiday classic. No regional production in the New York metropolitan area can compare. Thousands of attendees return year after year, making The Nutcracker a cornerstone of the holiday season.

A cast of 110 dancers, 88 of which are youth dancers from 20 towns and villages across Westchester and beyond, rehearse for 3 months each fall to prepare for performances held in the third week of December at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx.

Nutcracker auditions are open to youth dancers, ages 6 to 18 years of age, no matter where they live or receive their training, as long as they meet the ballet training requirements associated with rank in which they are placed in the Company.

Auditions for the 2024 Nutcracker will be held on September 14 & 15, 2024 at Bethany Arts Community in Ossining New York. Details to follow.

Nutcracker dates: December 14-17, 2024 at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts
