Quincy Community Theater presents The Nutcracker
Looks like this event has already taken place.
Sat, Dec 20 – Tue, Dec 23, 2025 • 7:00pm - 9:30pm
300 Civic Center Plaza, Quincy, IL 62301
Celebrate the holiday season with one of Quincy's most beloved events.
The Nutcracker Ballet is a holiday tradition woven with beautiful choreography, music and a special story. Set to the lovely score by Tchaikovsky, this two act ballet begins with a young girl named Clara who receives a special gift from Herr Drosselmeyer at a Christmas Party. The nutcracker gift quickly becomes Clara’s favorite and soon transforms into a prince who invites her to join him on a special journey. The story continues through the snow, into the Land of Sweets where dancers from many lands entertain them. Is it all a dream?
This will be the 16th time that the Kaiser Dance Theatre has brought the lovable ballet to local audiences. The first performance took place in 1985 and since then has become one of Quincy’s very own holiday traditions. For more information contact 217-222-3209.
