Ballet 5:8 Studios, Orland Park, IL

You’re invited to take part in one of 24 live performances of the brand new Beyond the Nutcracker Experience, based on Beyond the Nutcracker, at Ballet 5:8’s Black Box Theater inside its Orland Park studios. You’ll enjoy the magic and inspiration of Tchaikovsky’s magical score, dancers from Ballet 5:8 School of the Arts in-person and on film, guest artists from the Ballet 5:8 professional company, and original choreography by Ballet 5:8 Artistic Director Julianna Rubio Slager, plus a brand-new interactive exhibit that transports you to the countries that Emma visits. Seating for each performance is limited and is uniquely configured for each show to seat household groups together while maintaining distance from other guests; masks are required. Bring the entire family and join Emma, Uncle Abrahms, and the angel Anastasis on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that leads to the story of the first Christmas.
