The party is set at Clara's home here in Flagstaff, where friends and family come to celebrate. Gifts are given, and Clara's Godfather gives her a beautiful Nutcracker doll. Clara's brother Fritz breaks the doll and Clara's heart. As Clara (Alyssa McGuire) sleeps, her dream becomes a magical fantasy in the most beautiful place in the world where authentic dancers from all over the world perform for her and her life-size Nutcracker prince: Arabian dancers, Ukrainian Folk Dancers, Spanish Gypsy Flamenco, French street performers, and young Chinese dancers. This journey from childhood to adulthood is traveled in a unique and interesting way this holiday season.
This performance is supported in part by funds from the City of Flagstaff and Flagstaff Arts Council, the Arizona Commission on the Arts with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Arizona Community Foundation, and private donors.
