The Nutcracker
Adapted by June Walker Rogers Director: Regina Spain; Producer: Brian Spain; Holiday Drama: December 1-17 Description: The legend of the Nutcracker is now available 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. Too excited to sleep, she suddenly finds the Nutcracker brought to life. He tells her he is a prince under the wicked enchantment of the Mouse King, and she joins him in a series of adventures in strange lands as he seeks to regain his throne. When she wakes, she finds the Nutcracker gone. Was it a dream or not? Then her godfather returns with his nephew—who just happens to look exactly like the prince! This charming play may be enhanced with dances to the music of Tchaikovsky. CELEBRATE OPENING WEEKEND ...In Style!
