Pittston, Pa. â WVIA will proudly produce and air the Scranton Civic Ballet's 34th annual performance of "The Nutcracker" on Sunday, December 20 at 6 p.m. on WVIA TV. The collaboration was made possible by a COVID Creative Community Grant from the Lackawanna County Council on the Arts.
Typically, "The Nutcracker" is performed each year as educational enrichment for 1,200 school children at no charge, but this year it can be seen across 21 counties throughout Pennsylvania. Schools will also receive a link to a recording to share with students.
âWVIA is honored to present this performance to the people of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania,â said Carla McCabe WVIA President and CEO.
