Bucks County is about to sparkle with holiday magic once again. After a six-year hiatus, the Mid Atlantic Dance Theater (MADT) is brining back its beloved holiday classic, The Nutcracker. This December, at the Zlock Performing Arts Center, audiences experience the magic.
🩰 The Nutcracker: A timeless holiday tradition returns

The Nutcracker tells the enchanting story of Clara and her magical Nutcracker Doll, coming to life in a world of snowflakes, sugar plum fairies, and Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable music. This year’s production marks MADT’s first full Nutcracker performance since 2019. Indeed, it is an especially meaningful return form both performers and audiences.
“We are beyond excited to bring The Nutcracker back to the Newtown Bucks County stage,” said Liz Fitchett Jovovich, Executive Director of MADT.
“This production is such an incredible opportunity for our young performers to share the stage with seasoned professionals, showcasing the depth of talent and dedication within our community. To experience this level of artistry presented right here in Newtown Bucks County is truly something special. The magic, the music, and the spirit of the season are all coming together again and we can’t wait to share it.”
✨ Excellence in dance & community engagement
Under the guidance of President and Artistic Advisor Scott Jovovich, MADT continues to cultivate excellence in both classical and contemporary dance.
Beyond performances, the organization is deeply committed to education and community engagement. MADT offers scholarships, outreach programs, and partnerships. Such initiatives are designed to make dance accessible to everyone—regardless of age, backgrounds, or financial needs.
Support from the community ensures that MADT can continue to provide professional-quality training, mentorship, and performance opportunities for the next generation of dancers. Moreover, it helps keep the art form alive and vibrant in Bucks County.
