IDT presents a shortened, narrated version of the Nutcracker we call the “School Show”. Over 3,000 children from public, private, and home Metro area schools attend one of two shows. School Shows include all Act II performers, but do not include Snow Scene, Mice, and some Soldiers; and features a special version of the Party Scene.
The School Shows are at the Civic Center on Friday, December 10, 2021 at 10:00am & 12:30pm.
