"The Nutcracker at Wethersfield" follows choreographer Troy Schumacher in the dark winter of 2020 as he dreams of an idea to save Christmas and put his fellow New York City Ballet dancers back to work. Set on the grounds of a magical Hudson Valley estate, Troy and his team of fellow artists face almost insurmountable challenges to create an unforgettable and immersive live experience between dancers and audience, who arrive as guests at the ballet’s most famous party scene to witness the "Nutcracker" like never before. We follow the dancers and their process, exploring their hopes and dreams as they push themselves to bring this vision to reality. This is a film that celebrates the joy and value of art in our communities, and the magic of the holidays through the classic experience of the "Nutcracker."
