This weekend take a few hours to celebrate the holiday season by attending Ann Arbor Ballet Theatre’s performance of The Nutcracker Ballet. The Nutcracker is said to be one of Ann Arbor’s holiday traditions, and I am certainly looking forward to experiencing it for the first time. The performances will be held at the Power Center, and will be taking place on Friday December 16th at 8 p.m., Saturday December 17th at 2 p.m. and again at 8 p.m., and Sunday December 18th at 2 p.m. Tickets are only $20.00 for students, and can be purchased at the Michigan Union Ticket Office (734-763-8587). And be sure to arrive early to the performance as the Suzuki violinists will be playing holiday favorites before each show!
