Give the Gift of Eastern CT Ballet's Nutcracker to our Military!

SPONSORS are needed to provide FREE tickets to our region’s Military and their families.  Your contribution will give Military families the opportunity to enjoy the area’s Nutcracker of Choice at the historic Garde Arts Center on December 14 and 15.

Eastern Connecticut Ballet’s Nautical Nutcracker will present internationally acclaimed NYC Ballet Principal Dancers, Sarah Mearns and Jonathan Stafford, 110+ professionally trained ECB dancers and the legendary music of Tchaikovsky performed Live by the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra! 

Share Clara’s adventure and be transported by magical sailing vessel to an enchanted seaport in 1850’s New London.  Children of all ages will love the opening party scene filled with laughter and surprises as well as the thrill of battle on the high seas between the brave Nutcracker, Sailors, Pirate Rats and the dreaded Rat King.  

Help give our Military a classic holiday performance to remember and enjoy, right in our own backyard!
