Join Emily Lofton in her first ever staging of The Nutcracker: Short & Suite this holiday season!
Clara is hard at work making sure her friends receive their holiday sweets before their celebrations begin. Falling fast asleep in her Pâtisserie mid-whisk, her dreams are just as sweet as all of the delicious treats awaiting their finishing touch!
No experience necessary, casting will be determined by your demonstrated:
