A SWEET HOLIDAY TRADITION FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
This performance is a 60 minute adaptation of the classic holiday tale. 
Join Clara at her annual Christmas Eve party at the Staulbaum house enjoying a night full of celebration, dancing, and magic! As the party comes to a close Clara sneaks downstairs to find her precious new Nutcracker doll and falls asleep dreaming of her wonderful evening. Clara, startled awake by a group of mischievous mice, takes on an exciting journey with Drosselmeyer and her precious Nutcracker.
Battling a life-size mouse Queen, slipping &amp; sliding with snowmen &amp; dazzling Snow Queen, and then flying off on an enchanted crystal sleigh to meet the Queen of the Angels, Clara visits the Land of Sweets in an adventure not to be missed this holiday season! 
Nutcracker is co-produced by Engage Dance Academy and Raue Center For The Arts.
