Presenting The Nutcracker: A Child’s Tale at The Tower Theatre by Valerie Holgers’ Académie de Ballet Classique. This classic holiday ballet takes place on the Eve of Christmas when a young girl, Clara, befriends a nutcracker. The nutcracker magically comes to life to bravely fight an evil mouse king that whisks Clara away to a land filled with dolls, sugar plums, bon-bons, and snow fairies. Nutcracker: A Child’s Tale is a festive start to the holiday season this November.
