American Repertory Ballet has been performing its Nutcracker at State Theatre New Jersey for more than 30 years. Directed by Artistic Director Douglas Martin, ARB’s professional company will be joined by students from Princeton Ballet School to tell the story of a young girl named Clara and how a mysterious gift from her Uncle Drosselmeyer bring about enchanted dreams and fantastical scenes
