Over Thanksgiving weekend, Hanover Theater is putting on its annual production of the Nutcracker. Two young Southborough residents will be among the ballet slippered cast.
One of them is Quinn McDowell, who also danced in last fall’s production. This year, she’s joined by Olivia Schiavo. Both are students at Trottier Middle School. (The theater didn’t share what roles they will be performing.)
The classic Tchaikovsky Christmas ballet will be performed five times during the long weekend of Friday, November 29th through Sunday, December 1st. The two hour long show is scheduled with both matinee and evening performance times.
Tickets range in price from $39-59 per seat. (Compared to other professional productions this season, that’s pretty family-friendly pricing!) Click here to purchase tickets.

“This is my 16th year as artistic director of The Nutcracker at The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts. I genuinely love working with all the dancers to put on a magical performance in front of our central Massachusetts community. I remember auditioning as a little girl for the Boston Ballet and the Pittsburgh Ballet at the Worcester Auditorium. It was a priceless opportunity, and I still think of that time every year we begin rehearsals for The Nutcracker at The Hanover Theatre,” shared Jennifer Agbay.
