🎄✨ The Magic of The Nutcracker — Elevated & Reimagined ✨🎄
The 2025 Nutcracker was a breathtaking celebration of artistry, tradition, and holiday wonder — made even more special this year with thoughtful new experiences designed to celebrate our dancers, donors, and community. From the beauty of the stage to the magic behind the scenes, every detail was created to enhance the full Nutcracker journey. 🩰🎀
This year we introduced a dedicated backstage photo experience complete with giant Nutcrackers so dancers could capture memories of their performances, along with a brand new donor photo backdrop in the lobby for the launch of the 2017 Society. We also created a special backstage dining tablescape for our major donors — transforming what’s traditionally a floor meal into a beautiful shared experience between shows.
In addition, I had the honor of designing this year’s Nutcracker program and cast shirts, bringing the full production story to life through custom graphics and cohesive branding.
A heartfelt thank you to the dancers, families, crew, volunteers, and supporters who made this season so magical. Each year this tradition continues to grow in both beauty and meaning — and it’s a joy to be part of bringing it all together. ✨
