The Jewish Nutcracker is back, and it's more magical than ever! Young Rebecca and her beloved Nutcracker embark on an enchanting journey from Bubbe's cozy house to the fantastical Land of Nosh -- a world filled with dancing dreidels, giant menorahs, gelt-y delights, and the ever-fearsome 'Mother Latke.'

This beloved White Theatre holiday tradition showcases the extraordinary talent of nearly 200 students from the J's Encore Dance Program, who pour their hearts into every performance. Enjoy a pre-event tea party followed by a streamlined performance on Sunday, Dec. 6.

Part Nutcracker, part Jewish cultural celebration, and all heart -- The Jewish Nutcracker is the holiday event families will be talking about long after the latkes have cooled.
