The Northeast Ballet Company, under the direction of Darlene Myers, has been serving the Capital District since 1990 and has had the honor of being the resident company of Proctors Theater since 1991.

This weekend The Northeast Ballet will present The Nutcracker at Proctors. This is the 25th year that the company has produced the holiday classic and the production features 150 performers filling the ranks of mice, wooden soldiers, fairys, and –of course– some humans. The production is enjoyed by over 5,000 audience members each year.
