About this production
Ruth Shine School of Dance and Valleymount Theatre Company bring Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker to Valleymount Hall in Co. Wicklow for four nights in December 2026.
Christmas in west Wicklow comes with snow, sugar plums and Tchaikovsky. Ruth Shine School of Dance joins forces with Valleymount Theatre Company to stage The Nutcracker, the ballet in two acts, at Valleymount Hall for four nights only.
The Nutcracker is a much-loved part of the school's Christmas every year, and the dancers have spent the autumn in rehearsal, from the boys trying out ideas for the lively Russian dance, Trepak, to dancers stepping in to learn demanding new choreography.
Performances are on Friday 4, Saturday 5, Friday 11 and Saturday 12 December 2026. Doors open at 6.30pm and the curtain goes up at 7pm. Tickets are €15 plus a booking fee and are sold only on Eventbrite, so it's worth booking ahead.
