Jersey City Nutcracker: The Movie

originally published: 12/03/2020

(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Set to Tchaikovsky’s renowned orchestral score, Jersey City Nutcracker tells the story of two children’s city adventure, following them through fantasy, adversity, and celebration, with lessons about friendship and community along the way. Boasting entrancing animated projections by Jersey City based projection artists, Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger, and a delightful Libretto co-written by Alyssa Souder and Samuel Pott, this year, the story takes on a whole new magic, thanks to the inspiration of filmmakers Stephanie Daniels and Mark Smith.

Jersey City Nutcracker: The Movie will premier online on December 19th and 20th at 5:00pm EST through a hosted online viewing party. Tickets are Pay What You Can with a suggested Minimum of $15 per viewer. Attendees can expect wholesome (albeit, a little wacky!) holiday fun with some interactive moments throughout the evening. Whether you are a Jersey City Nutcracker Devotee or this will be your first experience, it promises entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. Click here to purchase tickets.
