Give Big 2026
This past December marked a special chapter in Issaquah Dance Theatre Ensemble's history, our very first Nutcracker at the Longman Performing Arts Center at Issaquah High School! Our dancers filled the stage with joy, artistry, and holiday magic, and the incredible support from our Issaquah community made it truly unforgettable. We couldn't be more grateful to have found our Nutcracker home!
​
Now, as we look ahead to an even more spectacular season, we need YOUR help to make it happen. This Give Big season, we're asking our community to help us invest in the future of our production by funding brand-new costumes for two of our Nutcracker roles: the Rats and the Gumdrops!
Every donation goes directly toward helping our dancers shine on stage and continuing this tradition for years to come.
Thank you for being part of our IDT family. We are so proud to call Issaquah home, and we can't wait to share an even more magical Nutcracker with you next season.
