The Nutcracker

THE NUTCRACKER

December 6 & 7, 2019

Pike Performing Arts Center

“Sometimes you must go on a journey to find home,” is the theme of this heartfelt, enriching story.  In their 22nd Performance Season, GHDT will revel in theatrical tradition with the renowned student production of this holiday classic with a modern twist.  GHDT’s full-length contemporary version features the highly-talented dancers of G2, the pre-professional company of GHDT.  G2 is joined by students from The Academy of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and other young student dancers filling the stage with movement and color!  The Nutcracker follows the same overall story line as the original, but is uniquely different.  This magical version portrays Klara as a homeless orphan girl who discovers the true meaning of the season through the gift and giving spirit of a homeless man.  GHDT’s The Nutcracker prominently presents a wide range of world and cultural music in contrast to the traditional Tchaikovsky score.
