Nutcracker Storytime at the EP Foster Library in Ventura

This November, EP Foster Library and Ventura County Ballet present a magical Nutcracker Storytime. Families are invited to a special reading of the classic tale “The Nutcracker” on Saturday, November 16 at 11:00 am. The event will be held in the Topping Room.

In addition to the storytime reading, there will be mini dance performances by Ventura County Ballet dancers who will perform select scenes from The Nutcracker, showcasing the beauty and elegance of the beloved ballet.

Dancers will lead a dance demonstration where children can learn some basic ballet moves inspired by the story. It’s a wonderful opportunity for aspiring young dancers to experience the magic of ballet firsthand.

Attendees will also have the chance to participate in a Q&A session with Kathie Noblin, Director of Ventura County Ballet, and the ballet dancers. Children and families can ask questions about what it’s like to be a dancer, how ballet brings The Nutcracker to life on stage, and what it takes to prepare for a performance. We look forward to sharing the Nutcracker story with our community.

This event is free and open to the public. For additional information, please contact Sienna Sydlaske, Youth Librarian Specialist, at (805) 648 2716 or [email protected].
