From doctor to deacon

First Posted: 11/21/2014 Marywood University and the Ballet Theatre of Scranton will present their 39th annual performance of &#8220;The Nutcracker&#8221; ballet at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 26 through 28 in the Sette LaVerghetta Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Marywood University.
Tickets are free and reserved seating is available at the Marywood Box Office an hour and a half prior to each performance.
The original Scranton production was first presented by the company&#8217;s founder Constance Reynolds in 1976, and continues under the direction of Joanne Arduino, artistic director.
Since its first presentation, more than 350,000 people from within a 60-mile radius, enjoyed the production and made it a part of their holiday tradition. Ballet Theatre of Scranton maintains the free production through the dedication of its board, directors and dancers, and the generosity of local benefactors. Over 150 people are involved in the annual event, including professional designers, technicians and guest artists.
&#8220;The Nutcracker&#8221; is a magical story told through ballet to the famous Tchaikovsky music. Toys coming to life, snow falling on dancing snowflakes and a 20-foot growing Christmas tree are just a few highlights of Ballet Theatre of Scranton&#8217;s Nutcracker gift to the community
