Colorful sets, vibrant costumes, and the timeless music of Tchaikovsky bring audiences back year after year.

“The Nutcracker” features 56 local dancers ranging in age from 4-50 years old. The youngest dancers warm everyone’s hearts with their first appearance on a stage as little snowflakes, while the more experienced dancers wow audiences with their poise, courage and ability. Artistic Director Tammie Lee has cultivated many of her most accomplished ballerinas for the past six years; Lee creates challenging new choreography each year to showcase each dancer’s developing talent. Brianna Gilbert stars this year as Clara and Ethan Moes once again portrays the Nutcracker Prince. Brook Moes returns as Dr. Drosselmeyer, and Victoria Moes will appear as a new character, the Angel. The production also features Molly Johnson as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Rebecca Elliott as the Dew Drop Fairy, Alyssa Walker as the Mouse Queen, and Fiona Swift as the Snow Queen.
