Hosted by David Green of The Cultural Alliance Of Fairfield County.

This month we will be exploring The “Nutcracker” Phenomenon.

This time of year our dance companies and dance schools explode with their many various productions of, arguably, the most popular ballet anywhere. What’s so special about this ballet? Does it pull in audiences who normally wouldn’t attend ballet? Do these performances help build the audience for dance?
