Join us for this very special production of Methuen Ballet Ensemble's The Nutcracker. Methuen Ballet Ensemble, an established local ballet company under the artistic direction of Vanessa Rae Voter, has staged The Nutcracker for over twenty-five years.

Principal roles are performed by members of Methuen Ballet Ensemble, whose experience totals over 150 years of classical ballet training under Ms. Voter’s tutelage. This year’s production will also feature Guest Artist James Kramlich of Portland Ballet in the roles of Snow King and Sugar Plum Cavalier. Mr. Kramlich has been a Company Dancer with Portland Ballet since 2014. Notable roles with the company include Party Scene Jester Doll, Nutcracker Prince, Russian Lead- The Victorian Nutcracker; The Soldier In The Body- Nell Shipman's Armed Man: Mass for World Peace (role was choreographed on James); Egaeus- Berenice- Three Tales By Poe Triple Bill; Ichabod Crane- Nell Shipman's The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow; Von Rothbart- Swan Lake Act II; Hilarion- Giselle.

Students of Voter's School of Dance in Salem, NH and North Shore Performing Arts Center in Ipswich, MA perform all other roles. Dancers hail from Methuen, Lawrence, Merrimac, Haverhill, N. Andover, Georgetown, Groveland, Boxford, Ipswich, Salisbury, Rowley, Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury, MA, as well as Salem, Pelham, Plaistow, Windham, and Manchester, NH.

Each year, this production has become more elaborate with stunning visual effects and custom-designed costumes. All performances include a giant growing Christmas tree, a heavenly mist, and an abundance of snowfall. Note: No chemicals will be used during this production. The mist effect will be achieved with the lighting design.

5-starThe Nutcracker
I was home for the holidays and attended the performance. I was so impressed with the staging and dancing and also the props and costumes. I hope they will be performing next year I want to take the whole family.
