But the grand house and grounds in upstate New York inspired a different idea: a site-specific Nutcracker production. The COVID-19 pandemic had shuttered theaters, canceling seasons around the country and leaving dancers without work. But Schumacher saw an opportunity to create an immersive experience for small, socially distanced audiences.
