As the story goes, Clara receives a nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve and dreams about it coming to life.

The dream takes her on a magical journey through the Land of Sweets with the Nutcracker Prince, where they battle the Mouse King along the way. "The Nutcracker" includes larger-than-life puppets, including a 20-foot Mother Goose and a flying goose. (Michael Cairns Photography)

The performance showcases Clara’s courage, while also touching on the comfort in traditions and it invites the audience to see the holidays through the eyes of a child.
