This November, the Colgate Ballet Company will be performing the Nutcracker. The story centers around a young girl named Clara who befriends her Uncle Drosselmeyer’s nephew at a Christmas Eve party. Later that night the Nutcracker she receives as a present from Drosselmeyer comes to life, battling the evil Mouse, and saving her. The victorious Nutcracker transforms into the nephew, who then walks with her through the Land of Snow and introduces her to the Land of Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy and her court celebrate by performing a series of dances for them.
Performances are Friday November 12, 2021 at 7:30 PM and Saturday, November 13, 2021 at 2 PM.
