Maine State Ballet has grown by leaps and bounds since first staging Nutcracker at Portland's Merrill Auditorium in the mid 1970's.

In addition to its renowned production of Nutcracker, Maine State Ballet has also presented numerous spectacular full-length ballets – Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, Cinderella, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Alice in Wonderland, Hansel and Gretel, Coppelia, and the time honored Swan Lake – and the charming one act productions of Peter and the Wolf, Firebird, Western Roundup, and Paquita.

Maine State Ballet’s Falmouth location now houses the Maine State Ballet Theater enabling Maine State Ballet to realize its vision of offering performances regularly throughout the season.
