HPSD's 2022 Production of The Nutcracker
Every fall when our students return to the studio, we begin work on The Nutcracker, one of our largest undertakings of the year. This year we are excited to return to our full scale Nutcracker production in Mandel Hall!
We will continue to update participating families on the Nutcracker cast webpage and via email about how we expect our Nutcracker performances to proceed.
Since rehearsals for The Nutcracker occur outside of regularly scheduled classes, please be aware that an additional fee is required to participate in this elective performance workshop.
Coming soon!
