Adler Theatre
A staple of the local holiday season is back at the Adler Theater! Local company Ballet Quad Cities Presents The Nutcracker. Ballet Quad Cities is a studio based right across the river in Rock Island. However, they’ve always called the Adler Theater home. It’s been more than a decade since they first put on this holiday classic in Davenport, Iowa, for the first time. They are going to be at it again on Sunday, December 15th. This 7 pm showcase is the last one that they’re slated to put on at the Adler Theater this season. If you want to catch professional dancers and some of the upcoming local talents giving their rendition of this tale as old as time, you can’t miss this show!
There are plenty of open seats to choose from at this point, however, by the time that you’re reading this, that may not be the case. Click the get tickets button today to ensure you and your family will have great spots to enjoy the show.

As mentioned, local talent and professionals traditionally come together to put on these shows. The Ballet Quad Cities company has actually now produced quite a few dancers who went on to have illustrious careers. This may very well be due to the fact that they expose some of their younger dancers to a professional environment early on. What does this all mean, though, for you in the audience on Sunday, December 15th, at the Adler Theater? Well, it means that you’ll be in for quite a treat! The scenery, costumes, make-up, and everything in between are worthy of a professional production. However, the addition of the young dancers does provide some heart-warming, cute moments that are hard to replicate in a more formal, fully professional ballet. The combination is a win-win, particularly through the holidays, where a lot of people are a bit more in their feelings.
The Nutcracker is a ballet and theater all-time classic. Anyone who is not familiar with the story will likely catch on quickly. The aforementioned professional production allows key elements of the show to still provide that wow factor. In this story, the coming to life of the Nutcracker doll is one of those moments that people wait on with expectation. Ballet Quad Cities’ production team does not disappoint year after year. It’s not like they bring on recycled productions every single year. Each new season brings with it new wrinkles to the show and the story itself. That’s one of the reasons why people still flock to the Adler Theater to watch.
Almost the entirety of the Adler Theater will be open for this final show of the season on Sunday, December 15th, at 7. That’s a good indication that organizers are expecting plenty of people to be in the crowd for this night. Having the second-floor balcony seats available can be a blessing. Smaller children may be able to see the stage better without obstructions from there, compared to being seated on the back rows of the first floor. You may want to keep that tip in mind when you click the get tickets button and find your seats for this event!
