The Emelin Theatre is proud to present Nutcracker Dream: Inspired by the work of Rudolf Nureyev and Marius Petipa, this 90-minute adaptation by French-American choreographer Carole Alexis is an exquisite interpretation of the beloved holiday classic. Professional dancers of Ballet des Amériques will perform the featured roles of the ballet, with additional roles performed by young dancers from our area selected by auditions.

ABOUT CAROLE ALEXIS | CHOREOGRAPHERCarole Alexis is a choreographer, producer, dance educator and the founding director (2011) of the Carole Alexis Ballet Theatre/Ballet des Amériques, who has won numerous awards: in 2021, Carole Alexis was named Chevalier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture; in 2023, she was honored with the Artist Award by ArtsWestchester. A student of Maurice Béjart, Alexis’ choreographic work is rooted in classical ballet training and tradition while drawing upon influences as disparate as children’s games, island rituals, natural phenomena, and modern urban life. Alexis proclaims, “My interest in creating Nutcracker Dream is to bring families and friends together around the essence of what the story represents – namely, the beautiful balance between Marie’s childhood playfulness and her coming of age in the midst of her own circle of family and friends.”
ABOUT BALLET DES AMÉRIQUESStaging productions at the Emelin Theatre since 2012, and in nearly 200 productions throughout Westchester, the New York City area and overseas, the company is committed to developing inclusive dance audiences through choreography and performances of the highest quality. The company’s extensive and eclectic repertoire bears Carole Alexis’ distinctive signature and vision, reinvigorating “ballet” for new audiences and dance connoisseurs alike. Proclaimed “Westchester’s Premier Dance Company” by the County Executive and voted “Best Ballet Company” by the editors of Westchester Magazine.

“Westchester is home to one of the most accomplished young ballet companies in the country. Alexis’ talented troupe displays fancy footwork that has placed them among the most celebrated companies in the region.” – Paul Adler, Westchester Magazine

Cows that type? Hens on strike? Whoever heard of such a thing!

In Click, Clack, Moo, based on the Caldecott Honor Book by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin, the barnyard is buzzing when Farmer Brown’s granddaughter leaves her laptop in the cold.

What follows is a hilariously heartwarming tale of negotiation and compromise, set to toe-tapping music by Brad Alexander, winner of the prestigious Richard Rodgers Award.
Praised as “clever, fun, and full of heart… a delightful introduction to musical theatre” by Time Out NY Kids, and hailed by Parenting Magazine for delivering “a message even the youngest audience members will understand: cooperation and compromise are powerful tools,” this musical mooooooovement is perfect for your little farm hand.

Hold onto your noses and your funny bones! Griffin Theatre Company’s uproarious adaptation of The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales turns classic fairy tales upside-down and inside-out.

This fast-paced, 60-minute show is a whirlwind of fractured fairy tales where Cinderella snubs Rumpelstiltskin, the Ugly Duckling stays ugly, and the Tortoise challenges a hair-growing Hare. With witty narration, playful set designs, and a healthy dose of absurdity, this production is a treat for kids and adults alike.
