The Hip Hop Nutcracker at NJPAC

We're kicking off the Rutgers Takes the Garden State series this December in Essex County! Take a trip to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) and catch a performance of The Hip-Hop Nutcracker. Start your day with a pre-show brunch where you and other Rutgers graduates can spend time mingling and celebrating the holiday season together. You’ll enjoy food, drinks, and Rutgers-branded giveaways before taking in a reimagined performance of the classic story of The Nutcracker.
