The Nutcracker is a classical ballet about a young girl named Clara. On Christmas Eve, Clara and her younger sister, Fiona, wait in excitement for their family’s holiday party. The festivities begin, and after much dancing, Clara’s favorite Uncle, the mysterious Drosselmeyer, arrives. He entertains the guests with stories and dolls that come to life. His most special present of all, however, he has reserved for Clara - a rare, wooden, Nutcracker doll. Later that night, Clara returns to where her beloved Nutcracker was left. However, Clara is in for a magical adventure. Clara realizes that she has shrunk to the size of a toy, and finds the fearsome Mouse Queen towering over her. The Nutcracker comes to life to protect Clara and faces off with the Mouse Queen. Upon his victory against the Mouse Queen, the Nutcracker is revealed to be a handsome prince, and rejoices with Clara, for she has broken his curse and restored him to his former glory. As a thank you, the Nutcracker Prince escorts Clara to the Kingdom of Sweets, leading her through a haze of dancing snowflakes and their majestic snow queen.Clara and the Prince continue their journey through the Kingdom of Sweets, where the queen of the land herself, the Sugar Plum Fairy, graciously greets them with her courtiers at the gates. After a recount of the battle, the Sugar Plum Fairy calls forward all the subjects of her realm to perform for Clara. As the celebration ends, the dream begins to slip away. Clara awakens to find her Nutcracker doll, fully mended and miraculously returned to its original form. She wonders if all the events of the night had actually occurred, or if it had all just been a dream.Please join us at any of our three shows in Brehmer Theater:Friday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m.Saturday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m.Sunday, Nov. 10 at 11 a.m. - Nov 9All dayWatch PartyCampus Life | Bernstein Hall, Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio
