Reserve Tickets Early for ‘Scenes from the Nutcracker’ at Darien Arts Center
|
When Darien Arts Center Dance Director Bonnie Gombos produced Scenes from the Nutcracker for the first time in 2002, little did she know that the small production geared for younger children would grow into a beloved tradition that the DAC would keep alive for 15 years. In fact, the show proved to become a local holiday favorite and grew exponentially over the years, consistently selling out performances. The 2002 production had a modest beginning, with just two performances and about 10 adult dancers. Each year, Gombos has added dancers as the DAC dance school grew and the show gained popularity.
This year, Scenes from the Nutcracker boasts eight performances with 70 dancers from the DAC dance program.
