Families: a message to your dancer

Family and friends of our dancers can place a congratulatory message in the book — a photograph and a few words for your dancer. Once you have placed your order, email the picture and your message to nutcracker@maratdaukayev.com, with your dancer’s name. Each child looks for their message when the books arrive at the theatre, and these books are kept as mementos for years afterwards.

The show and the book

Our annual production of The Nutcracker, a beloved Los Angeles tradition, is held at the Luckman Theatre at California State University, Los Angeles — one of the city’s largest stages, seating 1,152 guests. We expect more than 4,000 Los Angeles area residents to attend, giving your advertisement extensive exposure through our professionally produced Program Book.
