This year we are celebrating 25 years of our Dance Education & Movement Initiative (D.E.M.I.) program. D.E.M.I. brings the joy of dance to traditionally underrepresented students in Victoria through partnerships with local schools and organizations. The success of An Evening with the Nutcracker is vital to maintaining the high standards of our performances and programs.

Come enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring live entertainment, a chef-curated dinner from VCC, and a complimentary open bar. This year, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new fundraiser—Baubles, Bubbles, and Bouquets—along with the return of our popular live and silent auctions. Proceeds from the event will help cover essential expenses such as bringing in guest artists, acquiring new costumes and sets, and supporting our D.E.M.I. program.

A special thank you to our gracious event underwriters:

Desi & Josh LeBar
