The holiday season is not complete without the return of a cappella sensations Straight No Chaser—born right here at Indiana University. The group has become synonymous with the sound of the holidays, delivering crowd-pleasing arrangements with humor, heart, and flawless harmonies.

The nine-man act, including Walter Chase, Jerome Collins, Seggie Isho, Michael Luginbill, Steve Morgan, Luke Bob Robinson, Jasper Smith, Tyler Trepp, and Freedom Young, has served as a festive blend of harmonious voices for three decades.

This year’s tour is a gift that requires no wrapping and one that everyone delights in sharing. To date, the band has sold more than three million albums worldwide, sold more than 1.5 million tickets worldwide, earned 100 million+ YouTube views, and racked up more than a billion streams.

NATIONAL OVATION

Viewers across the country applauded this contemporary take on the classic ballet featuring the iconic score by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky when the Emmy-nominated production aired nationally on American Public Television last season.

This bold vision from Jacobs faculty choreographer Sasha Janes shattered stereotypes coast to coast while telling the story of inquisitive young Marie and the gift she receives from her mysterious Aunt Drosselmeier, who encourages her to unlock the power of her imagination.

Join Marie on her incredible adventure as she learns that magic is everywhere—even in a seemingly ordinary wooden nutcracker.
