The Maple Youth Ballet’s Nutcracker has become an affordable holiday choice among Southland families, many of whom have not attended a ballet.  “For a child, there is no better introduction to the world of ballet than The Nutcracker. It’s colorful and accessible, with a child-centric story fueled by Tchaikovsky’s exquisite score,” said Maple.

“This unparalleled production will entertain audiences by its uplifting surprises and stunning special effects,” said Mr. Maple. Through the years, the fundamental spirit of Nutcracker remains the same, it is a Christmas story—complete with a Christmas tree, visions of sugar plums dancing and a holiday spirit of great joy.”
