Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet’s presents The Nutcracker



Step into a world of twinkling lights, falling snow, and holiday magic as the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet’s beloved production of The Nutcracker returns to the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center the weekend before Thanksgiving!


For over 30 years, families across the Philadelphia region have made this enchanting performance part of their holiday tradition. From the moment the Christmas tree grows and the toy soldiers come to life, your children will be spellbound by the grace and excitement of this timeless tale.

 

Performed by the talented students of the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet—alongside professional guest artists from the Philadelphia Ballet — this production brings The Nutcracker to life with breathtaking choreography, stunning costumes, and a full theatrical experience that’s both professional and family-friendly.

The magic isn’t just on stage—it’s in the audience, too. Many parents say The Nutcracker is their child’s first introduction to live theatre performance or classical music, sparking a lifelong love of the arts. With performances designed for young audiences (90 minutes with an intermission) and affordable ticket prices, it’s the perfect way to start the holiday season together.


Join the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet for this year’s performances, November 21–23, and share in a holiday tradition that has delighted generations. Tickets are selling quickly—so don’t wait to reserve your seats!

Looking to spark your child’s curiosity about the outdoors? Join us for Family Explorers: What Lives at the Arboretum? This program invites families to explore nature using their senses to uncover its secrets. Each month, we’ll head outdoors to discover a different seasonal theme, searching for plants, animals, and other natural wonders that bring the Arboretum to life. We’ll take a closer look at our discoveries using simple tools like magnifying glasses or binoculars.



Join us for the Media Borough Halloween Parade! On Saturday, October 26 at 11:00 AM in Media Borough (on State Street)



Get ready for a spooky good time! 
Join us at our annual Trunk or Treat event at Middletown Fire Company on Saturday, October 25th!



Fairytales and fables are narratives passed down through the tradition of oral storytelling. While these stories may contain many magical and fantastical elements, they also act as little windows into life in the past. Journey throughout the Farmstead, and listen to our narrators tell family-friendly versions of old fairytales and fables while demonstrating skills from the 18th century. Along your journey, meet enchanting characters, hear bewitching stories, and collect treats and treasures. Both children and adults are invited to come in costume and bring trick-or-treating bags.

In Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" JR., Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure. An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are "bestus" friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She's even happier and more excited than usual because they have been invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible. Filled with joyful characters and lively songs, Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" JR. is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre, making this an excellent educational theatre experience! 



Linvilla Orchard's famous Hayride to the Witches’ House is a hayride where you can visit the friendly Witches’ House in the woods. The witch tells stories and jokes and gives all of the kids a treat. The hayride ends at a campfire, where you receive a sample of apple cider and marshmallows to roast.
