Nutcracker of Middle Georgia began as the dream of Jean Evans Weaver, who envisioned an annual local production of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet that would rival those presented by the country’s premier city ballet companies. The dream quickly caught fire, and since its humble beginnings in 1985, it has ignited the spirits of thousands of volunteers, contributors, and performers who, together, have created Nutcracker of Middle Georgia, Inc.
