Berks Ballet Theatre alumna Jessica Bealer returns home to take on the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in this weekend’s milestone production of The Nutcracker, marking 50 years of Berks Ballet Theatre. Jessica began her training in Berks County and now dances professionally with Rochester City Ballet. Her return is a full-circle moment for the company and a reflection of the legacy built on this stage.

The Sing Messiah scheduled for Sunday November 30th, with accompaniment by the Berks Chamber Orchestra (a sub group of the Pops) has been canceled.
