Academy of Dance proudly presents its 22nd production of the festive holiday favorite, “The Nutcracker” which is produced by Carla Olson and directed by Sawyer Taylor. This traditional version of the ballet features a talented cast of child, teen and adult dancers. Based on the story by E.T.A. Hoffman and featuring Peter Tchaikovsky’s lilting score, “The Nutcracker” has been a holiday tradition since its premiere in 1892. It tells the story of a young girl, Clara (Greta Gibbons), who receives a wonderful nutcracker one Christmas Eve from her mysterious Godfather Drosselmeyer (Sean Kelly). Later that evening, Clara protects her beloved gift from an invading army of mice and a giant rodent, the Rat Queen (Annika Rother), and is rewarded for her bravery when the Nutcracker (Savannah Marshall) is transformed into a handsome prince. Clara embarks on a spectacular journey through the snow-covered forest, led by the Snow Queen (Jacqueline Payne) to an enchanted kingdom, the Land of Sweets, where Clara is escorted by the Sugar Plum Fairy (Mary Branigan) and treated to a variety of wonderful dances from around the world. We hope that you will join us to enjoy all of the magic, sparkle, and joy that you have come to expect from this enchanting holiday tradition!
