ENGLEWOOD, NJ — A beloved holiday tradition is returning to Englewood, as New Jersey Ballet prepares to bring its annual production of The Nutcracker to bergenPAC.
Four performances are scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 5, and Sunday, Dec. 6, at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. each day.
The production features ballet performances, special effects and Tchaikovsky's iconic score.

New Jersey Ballet, founded in 1958, has been under the artistic direction of Maria Kowroski since 2021.
