Choreographed to the
soaring music of Tchaikovsky by Jennifer
Branner and Artistic Director, Kathleen
McGilliard, the traditional ballet boasts an
original musical theater prologue and
epilogue which tells the tale of how the
Nutcracker actually came to be. Then
because Claramarie loves him in spite of his
wooden head, she helps to break the curse
allowing the handsome Prince to lead
Claramarie into the magical land of the "The
Sugar Plum Fairy". With guest performers
and featured dancers from the Gig Harbor
Danse Ensemble, a cast of close to 50 will
sing, act and dance their way into yours
heart as Party Guests, shimmering snow
flakes, tuneful flutes and colorful
flowers. All of the characters are there
....even Mother Ginger and her children.
