    Spread Holiday Cheer! Give the gift of dance.

    In past years, as a part of the company’s Community Youth Outreach Program, BTC has produced A Children’s Nutcracker, a private, full-length, sensory-friendly performance of the company’s version of The Nutcracker to children and families of local partnered advocacy agencies free of charge. This season, while theaters remain closed, BTC has been hard at work finding creative and innovative ways to reach children and families in underserved communities to bring them much-needed holiday spirit and Nutcracker cheer.


    In this season of giving, consider purchasing a household ticket for a local family in need to attend this digital performance of The Nutcracker. Upon purchase of a household ticket for your family, you will be prompted to add a special ticket to your shopping cart in order to help BTC bring joy into a Greater Hartford area household, or donate through the donation form found below.
