Green Mountain Nutcracker presented by Moving Light Dance Co.

Experience the joy of one of Vermont’s most cherished traditions, The Green Mountain
Nutcracker, a classic holiday story with an enchanting local twist.

home through snow-enchanted forests to a magical land. Whether you’re seeing it for the first or
the twentieth time, The Green Mountain Nutcracker will transport you to a familiar-madefantastical world. From the boisterous loggers to the Maple Sugar fairy, you’ll delight in the
many colorful, local characters that give this interpretation its name.
Now celebrating its 20th year, this one-of-a-kind production features an all-ages, 62 member
cast of brilliant Moving Light Dance Company dancers and students, all-original choreography
by Christine Harris, Carissa Bellando, Brandy Perez and Willow Wonder, set to both
Tchaikovsky’s familiar score and original music by Vermont musician, Colin McCaffrey, as well
as a delightful array of locally made sets and costumes.
Set in Vermont in the 1970s, this close-to-home and dear-to-heart northern rendition of the
classic ballet continues to enthrall audiences of all ages. Make memories, and create your own
annual tradition, with friends and family at one of Vermont’s most beloved holiday
performances.
