The Nutcracker performance was a tremendous success, and we are incredibly proud of each dancer's dedication and grace. Their hard work and the resulting performance are a true testament to their talent and commitment. We also extend our deepest gratitude to our volunteers—without your support, this event wouldn’t have been possible. Bravi to all!

Last night we celebrated our 28th Nutcracker. Every Nutcracker season is a whirlwind of rehearsals, costumes and anticipation, but nothing compares to the magic of opening night. This production is a labor of love brought to life by the dedication of our students, teachers, families, and volunteers. Our cast poured their hearts into this production and we couldn’t be prouder.

It’s with heartfelt gratitude that we thank UB Center of the Arts, our cast, guest performers, families, and volunteers!
