This holiday ballet takes place on the eve of Christmas when a young girl, Clara, is given a nutcracker doll. The nutcracker magically comes to life to bravely fight an evil mouse king to whisk Clara away to a land filled with dolls from around the world, sugar plums, bon bons, and snow fairies. Opening this Thanksgiving weekend, The Nutcracker: A Child’s Tale is a festive start to the holiday season.
