The Nutcracker
by Tchaikovsky
The Nutcracker is one of the most endearing and memorable shows in the classical ballet repertoire. This year the show was re-envisioned by the School of Dance director Michael Bearden. With new staging and some updates to our scenic world, this gave me several chances to heighten the performance out of our traditional performance into a new vision.
