Classic Holiday Ballet Elevated with Custom Scenic Elements

In December 2022, Scenic Solutions partnered with South Dayton Dance Theatre to produce The Nutcracker at Schiewetz Auditorium in Dayton, OH.

Custom Backdrop & Seasonal Scenery

We delivered a charming party scene backdrop, a dynamic winter landscape, and a focal point: a Christmas tree that “grows” during the performance—adding visual enchantment that audiences loved.
