Central Indiana Dance Ensemble presents annual performance of beloved classic “The Nutcracker”

Central Indiana Dance Ensemble (CIDE) returns to the STAR Bank Performing Arts Center in Zionsville this December for the annual performance of beloved classic, The Nutcracker.

The Nutcracker is a magical holiday must-see. Join in Clara’s dazzling adventure as she is swept away by her Nutcracker Prince to The Land of Sweets. Witness waltzing flowers, swirling snowflakes, and a courageous battle between toy soldiers and mice in this enchanting production. Set to Tchaikovsky’s famous score, The Nutcracker is made complete with beautiful choreography, costumes, and sets.

Under the artistic direction of Michael Casey Clark and Ashley Jacobs, the dance ensemble’s performances of The Nutcracker will take place Friday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 14 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m.

Prior to the Saturday and Sunday shows, CIDE will present a dessert party. Separate tickets are required for this portion of the event, and they do tend to sell out fast.

Tickets are on sale now. Get yours by clicking here or at cidedance.org.

This year, make CIDE’s production of The Nutcracker a part of your holiday tradition. Create memories to last a lifetime as you experience this exquisitely danced confection with family and friends.

The STAR Bank Performing Arts Center is located at 1000 Mulberry St., Zionsville.
