November 21 - December 19, 2015
Nearly everyone knows the tale of the Nutcracker, a gift to Marie from her Uncle on Christmas Eve. Sadly, the beautiful nutcracker has been broken and later that night Marie goes to check up on it. To her surprise, it has come alive, and a story-within-the-story begins! The audience is invited to become a part of the Nutcracker story and everyone gets to live happily ever after.
Featuring: Rory Pierce, Kate Poling, Lisa Gaylord, Emily Hinteregger and Kevin Lowry.
