 "The Nutcracker" Opens on the Ashtabula Arts Center Stage on Friday!



Enduring for more than a century, "The Nutcracker" is a Christmas fairy tale that will bring back the nostalgic feeling of holidays past and the promise of holidays to come.  The annual full-scale production of this classic tale will open on the Ashtabula Arts Center stage on Friday, November 30th.  Additional performances will be presented on December 1, 2 (sold out), 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16.  Saturday & Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Thursday, Friday & Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Santa will be available to visit with children prior to the 2 p.m. performance on December 1.  There will be no 7:30 performance on December 1.

 

Loosely based on the tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," by E.T.A. Hoffmann, this time-honored classic tells a story of an enchanted Nutcracker doll that magically comes to life to battle an Evil Mouse King and his band of ferocious mice.  Audiences will quickly be drawn into the battle scene and then carried away to a dazzling land of dancing snowflakes, angels and bon bons. It is a Christmas treasure that brings enchantment, festivity and fun to the holiday season for families throughout the world.
