Ethan Stiefel And Gillian Murphy Return To Coach For UNCSA's "The Nutcracker"

UNCSA's production of The Nutcracker has received rave reviews from critics and audiences since the reimagined production debuted in 2009 under the direction of Ethan Stiefel, former dean of the UNCSA School of Dance.

This year, Ethan and UNCSA alumna Gillian Murphy return to UNCSA as guest artists in residence to provide coaching for The Nutcracker. Ethan also choreographed a new opening for Act II featuring eight “angels.” The Nutcracker will be at the Stevens Center for nine performances from December 12th through the 20th. Ethan Steifel spoke with Triad Arts Executive Producer David Ford back in 2009 while Ethan was Dean of the UNCSA School of Dance.
