It’s time to return to Towson’s Stevens Hall where it all began with Mid-Atlantic Youth Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. 2022 marks my 7th season as Drosselmeyer, the magical toy maker and uncle of Clara and Fritz but this time with a Baltimore twist. Mid Atlantic Youth Ballet is once again proud to present our original, full-length adaptation of The Nutcracker featuring landmarks, icons and culture unique to Maryland. Join in the revelry of our Preakness Party (scene), defeat the Hon Rats at the Battle of Baltimore, have Faith in the Snowflakes, enjoy a stroll Downy Ocean City Boardwalk to see the Fortune Tellers, Bathing Beauties and scurry with our Little Crabs, Waltz with Black Eyed Susans and take flight with Poe's Raven. More surprises await!
