American Pacific Ballet Company's Nutcracker will charm young and old alike this holiday season. Choreography by Mignon Furman features lively children, scampering mice, a thrilling battle, magical transformations, a mysteriously "growing" Christmas tree, delicately falling snow, and beautiful dancers. Jeraldine Mendoza and Dylan Gutierrez of Joffrey Ballet (Chicago) will dance the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. Brian Loftus, International Guest Educator from London, returns to perform the role of Drosselmeyer. Merle Sepel, Artistic Director of the American Pacific Ballet Company, invites you to enjoy this classic holiday treat, set to Tchaikovsky's glorious music.
