Feel the warmth and wonder of the holiday spirit when the curtain rises on The Nutcracker. When Clara receives a nutcracker on Christmas Eve, her dreams take her on a grand adventure through the enchanted Snow Forest to the wondrous Land of Sweets, where a fantastic cast of characters awaits. Meet mischievous mice, brave toy soldiers, prancing reindeer, graceful flowers, the Snow Queen, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and many sweet dancing delights. An iconic classic featuring Tchaikovsky’s elaborate and most beloved score, The Nutcracker rejoices in the magic of the season and delights audiences of all ages.
The Nutcracker is presented in partnership with Next Step Dance Kodiak, with Mary Beth Loewen as Artistic Director, and featuring additional choreography by Jenny Stanford, Cory Rusch, Britta Patterson, Megan Riutta, Jill Wells, and Melissa Schoenwether. Nicholas Gili will travel to Kodiak to guest star as the Nutcracker Prince alongside Kodiak dancers of all ages.
