Based on the beloved story by J.M. Barrie, this family-friendly ballet is for the young at heart, and speaks to that part of us that never wants to grow up. “All you need is faith, trust and a little bit of pixie dust!” Join John, Michael and Wendy as Peter takes them past the second star to right, where adventure awaits with the lost boys, mermaids and pirates! The clever Tinkerbell saves Peter’s life so he can have one last sword-swinging, high-flying adventure with his arch nemesis, Captain Hook. Don’t miss Peter and the Darling children as they fly into Neverland!
All audience members are invited to the “Adventure Through Neverland” Event immediately after the performance, where they can meet and greet the cast with their treasure map, FREE of charge!
All classes are canceled today Saturday, March 12, 2022 because of the winter storm. Be safe and enjoy the day!

One year ago, life in the United States ground to a halt as we grappled with how to deal with the spread of COVID-19. Normal life, as we then understood it, changed in the course of a few days.
For many nonprofits, and arts organizations in particular, the pandemic upended our world. The Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley was forced to close its studios to students, cancel its spring ballet and reimagine its live performance of The Nutcracker so a cherished holiday tradition could continue.
Throughout this turmoil, we have been reminded constantly how fortunate we are because of you, our many supporters. Thanks to you, we were able to successfully pivot and continue to serve our students, area schools and all community members who cherish the arts.
Thank you to the many foundations, individual donors, volunteers and staff who have continued to support the Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley during this challenging time.
Because of you:
In particular, we gratefully recognize the many organizations that generously supported the Ballet Guild in 2020:
Thank you for your continued support of the Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley as together we work to foster a greater understanding of classical ballet, live orchestral music and the arts through education and performances. We look forward to brighter days ahead.
You Created Magic for Lehigh Valley Students!
I really enjoyed The Nutcracker, and as a dancer, it made things feel a bit more normal. I’ve only seen The Nutcracker once before so seeing it again was very nice.
