Utah Regional Ballet Presents 24th Year of “The Nutcracker”
Utah Regional Ballet (URB), Utah Valley State College’s performing company in residence, will present their traditional full-length production of “The Nutcracker” December 21-23 at Timpview High School in Provo, Utah, accompanied by an orchestra comprised of various musicians throughout the valley, including UVSC students.
The Nutcracker, performed by URB for the past 24 years in Utah County, relocated from last year’s venue at the Scera Theater in Orem to accommodate a full orchestra for every performance. In addition to an orchestra, the production will feature a more than 150-person cast with children from the community, students in the UVSC dance department, URB professionals and visiting professionals.
“This show has been a Christmas tradition for a lot of families in Utah County and we’re excited to make the whole experience complete this year with the addition of a symphony,” said Jackie Colledge, founder and artistic director of URB. “Although we’ll feature the same traditional choreography, our new talent creates freshness and newness in their roles that I think everyone will enjoy.”
The production will show at 7:30 p.m. December 21, 22 and 23 with a matinee Dec. 22 and 23 at 2 p.m. Ticket prices range from $15 to $25. For tickets, call Smithstix at (801) 467- TIXX (8499) or 1-800-888-TIXX (8499), or go to www.smithstix.com.
