Directed by Norma Jean Barnes an African-American and intergenerational cast will celebrate the Nutcracker, Black and world culture with the purpose of building bridges of hope, love and compassion in Pittsburgh and the world! Auditions, rehearsal and performances (live and virtual) will take place The Pittsburgh Project on Pittsburgh’s Northside.
