Join the DMV-area Ebony Bobcats and friends at a spectacular holiday show for the whole family! Directed and choreographed by Tony and Olivier Award-nominated Jennifer Weber, this contemporary dance spectacle is a re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic, smashing hip hop dance and Tchaikovsky’s timeless music together into a heart-stirring and inspirational holiday event. The Hip Hop Nutcracker is brought to life by a powerhouse cast of a dozen all-star dancers, a DJ, a violinist, and MC Kurtis Blow, one of hip hop’s founding fathers, who opens the show with a short set.

We have procured excellent seats in the Right Mezzanine section, rows B-F, and are happy to offer you a discounted rate thanks to the support of the Ohio University Alumni Association.

One goal of this event is to raise awareness of and funding for the EBN Urban Scholarship Endowment Fund. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to make a voluntary donation to support young scholars in their quest for a life-changing Ohio University education during the registration process.

Don't miss this opportunity to join us for a memorable evening with fellow Bobcats and friends!
