Newtown, PA – The Mid Atlantic Dance Theater (MADT) is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of its beloved holiday classic, The Nutcracker, to the stage this December. After a six-year hiatus, this cherished production will once again enchant audiences under the co-artistic direction of Andreas Jovovich and Priscilla Garner at the Zlock Performing Arts Center at Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Performances will take place on Saturday, December 20 at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and Sunday, December 21 at 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
