Our season wraps up with A Nutcracker Christmas – an original adaptation of a familiar, family holiday story. The tale begins at Christmas time when the Stahlbaum family – mother, father, Uncle Drosselmeyer, Fritz and Clara – gathers for Christmas. Presents are handed out to the children including two large dancing dolls, a hobby horse and, of course, the nutcracker. That evening, after all have gone to bed, the toys come to life and battle the Mouse King and his army of mice. Join us for this holiday classic!
