A holiday tradition for many families, “The Nutcracker” is an enduring classic
with its beautiful sets, memorable score and spectacular special effects.
There is a thrill when the lights dim and an expectant hush sweeps over the
audience. The curtain opens on the grand home of Dr. Stahlbaum and his
family where preparations are underway for a festive holiday party. Soon
the audience is swept into a magical journey with Clara and her Nutcracker
Prince as they travel through the snow forest and onward to the Enchanted Palace
of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her royal subjects. It’s an enchanted and
magical ride for everyone!</DIV>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><BR> Come join the holiday fun
at a family friendly price in an intimate theater setting where the audience can
really be a part of Clara’s dream! Don't miss the magic of the season!
