Holiday Production
​
​
All shows are performed at area schools and to the public at an area theatre. The performance includes dancers from 1st grade through 12th grade with dances ranging from intermediate level to a pre-professional level. By taking our Holiday show on the road, it gives the dancers the opportunity to bring the joy of dance, drama and the excitement of a theatre production to those who might not have the opportunity to enjoy it. Feature roles and dance solos are available for those participating in our placement program. Detailed eligibility, time commitments and costs associated with this performance can be found at the Customer Service Counter during fall registration. Rehearsals begin in late September and early October.

Production Description
​The Nutty Nutcracker is a story about a girl named Claire who has everything she ever wanted and yet she remains unhappy. Claire’s Aunt Lou Lou and her pet cat FeFe throw her a lavish holiday party in an attempt to lift her spirits. Dolls come to life magically and entertain Claire. Just as Claire begins to feel uplifted, Claire discovers that the special Nutcracker Prince Toy, that her Aunt promised her, was missing. Aunt Lou Lou summons the head elves from the North Pole to help find the lost toy. Claire is magically taken to Santa's Workshop to help locate her special Nutcracker. Claire enjoys the wonder in the Toy Shop and cheers on the toys as they move and dance. Just as everything seems perfect, the evil Icicle Fairy intrudes and creates a hostile disagreement with Claire. Claire becomes angry and defensive but she eventually decides to connect with the holiday spirit which thaws the frozen heart of the Icicle Fairy.
