The Nutcracker

By June Walker Rogers

Directed by Trish McIntire

The Story

At a gala Christmas Eve party, Clara's godfather presents her with an amazing Nutcracker in the form of a wooden soldier. Too excited to sleep, she suddenly finds the Nutcracker brought to life. He tells her he is a prince, under the wicked enchantment of the Mouse King, and she joins him in a series of adventures in strange lands as he seeks to regain his throne. When she wakes, she finds the Nutcracker gone. Was it a dream or not? Then her godfather returns with his nephew, who just happens to look exactly like the prince!
The play was paired with seasonal music provided by local musical groups.

Produced by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing, Inc.
