The Nutcracker Ballet: The ballet takes the audience on a magical journey with Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they travel from a traditional 19th century Christmas party through a fantastic battle of toy soldiers and giant mice led by a menacing Rat King who battles the valiant Nutcracker Prince.
The journey continues through the ethereal kingdom of Snow, finally arriving in the Land of the Sugarplum Fairy where sweets from all lands come to life and dance in Clara’s honor.
The Production: Dance Prism’s “The Nutcracker” is a fully staged and executed professional ballet production featuring a cast of 140 dancers.
The cast of professional and student dancers come from as many as six states to perform in the production.
The production features lively choreography, hundreds of colorful costumes, and scenery that includes a miraculous Christmas tree that grows before your eyes, falling snow, and a sleigh drawn by white reindeer.
Following the performance, young audience members are invited to meet Clara and the Nutcracker Prince.
