The legend of “The Nutcracker” lives on in this captivating play. At a gala Christmas Eve party, Clara’s godfather presents her with an amazing nutcracker in the form of a wooden soldier.

Clara joins him in a series of exciting adventures as he seeks to regain his throne. Fantasy and reality mingle to recreate a classic and wonderful holiday production.
