Event Details
With original choreography, awe-inspiring sets and costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s beloved score, "The Nutcracker" has become one of Northern Michigan's favorite holiday traditions.
When Clara receives a nutcracker on Christmas Eve, her dreams take her on a grand adventure. Follow Clara to the wondrous Land of Sweets, where a fantastic cast of characters awaits. Meet the Snow Queen, Sugar Plum Fairy, Cavalier, mischievous mice, brave toy soldiers, and of course—the Nutcracker.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the CTAC Dance Scholarship Fund.
