About Ann Nicole Nelson Hall in Minot

Welcome to the home of NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet in Minot: Ann Nicole Nelson Hall. Minot State University’s rich history began in 1913. In 1925, the State Teachers College at Minot opened its north auditorium in Old Main, which included a 950-seat auditorium, a spacious balcony, a wide stage and dressing rooms. The college finally had a place for its performing arts and music events. Because of his love for the arts, the campus administration named the auditorium after the college’s third president, Dr. George McFarland. The auditorium carried the name of McFarland Auditorium until 2003. On February 1, 2003, Minot State University rededicated the performance venue after a gracious gift was received from Gary and Jenette Nelson in memory of their daughter, Ann.

Today, Ann Nicole Nelson Hall responds to the academic mission of the MSU College of Arts and Sciences by supporting the work of students and faculty. Ann Nicole Nelson Hall rings proudly with multiple university and community music and theater performances throughout the year. In addition, educational outreach programs complement the hall’s contributions.

With this gift, Minot State University expresses its deepest appreciation to Gary and Jenette Nelson.

“What a magnificent show! We’ve attended several different performances of the nutcracker in the past. This show puts all of them to shame! We plan on making this a regular holiday event for our family! Thank you for such a great holiday experience!!”

“Loved the nutcracker production. Costumes were beautiful and dancers as usual did not disappoint. Great family holiday experience”
