Arabesque Presents: The Nutcracker 2026

We invite everyone to come out and support LOCAL dancers this holiday season!

Talented young dancers from throughout Southern Illinois will take the stage on November 30th and December 1st for a beautiful performance of the Christmas classic, The Nutcracker!
Our dancers have spent months rehearsing, learning, and preparing to bring this magical production to the stage — and nothing would mean more than seeing a full audience supporting them.
Tickets will be available at a later date, so stay tuned for more information!
Monday, November 30th & Tuesday, December 1st
6:00 p.m.
Marion Cultural and Civic Center
Please share our performance dates with your friends and family and help us fill the theater for these hardworking dancers!
