The Complex Performing and Creative Arts Centre Presents Michael Bolger's NUTCRACKER

The Complex Performing and Creative Arts Centre is proud to present Michael Bolger's NUTCRACKER at Woodstock Academy's Center for the Arts in Woodstock, Connecticut on December 8th. Michael Bolger's NUTCRACKER is a staple within The Complex community and has been warming hearts during the holiday season for the past four years.

This original, contemporary adaptation of everyone's favorite ballet will delight audiences of all ages this Holiday Season. Performed by The Complex Dance Theatre, this story follows the Bolger family, their 12 siblings, 2 parents, and a lifetime of memories that all families can connect with. Bolger's NUTCRACKER pays homage to the classic ballet, but is told through contemporary theatre dance. The traditions of the Nutcracker ring true in tales of family, tradition, connection, and holiday cheer told through lively and entertaining choreography.

Telegram and Gazette Reviewer Kevin T. Baldwin described Bolger's NUTCRACKER last year as "wonderfully inventive" and "full of heart and warmth." Audiences will laugh, cry, and warm their hearts while experiencing Tchaikovsky's brilliant score that will be brought to life by a magnificent 18 piece orchestra at The Woodstock, CT performance. This is the first time in the history of Michael Bolger's NUTCRACKER that The Complex will be taking it on the road!

Be a part of history and head to The Woodstock Academy's Center for the Arts this December to experience a dance theatre performance like no other. Featuring the faculty and company members of The Complex Dance Theatre. Directed and Choreographed by Michael Bolger.
