We’ve published our 4th Annual Bay Area Nutcracker Guide for 2013 listing Nutcracker performances throughout the San Francisco Bay area.
The Nutcracker has become a Christmas tradition for both families and ballet companies. The annual Nutcracker Guide makes it easy to locate a Nutcracker performance with a listing the performances by city (in alphabetical order) the performing company’s name, the dates of their performances and if the ballet company offers a cast party whether it be called Sugar Plum Fairy, Sweet Treats or Sweet Dreams.
