Join MPAC as we perform this traditional holiday classic. The story begins as preparations are underway for a Christmas party hosted by Herr and Frau Burgermeister. The Nutcracker is a Christmas gift to their daughter, Clara, from her eccentric uncle at the party. After the Nutcracker is broken by her younger brother, Clara lovingly cradles her Nutcracker and falls asleep beneath the Christmas tree. As she sleeps, the toys under the tree become life-size and Clara's Nutcracker leads the toy soldiers in a battle against the Rats. The Nutcracker and Rat King fight a duel, Clara saves the life of the Nutcracker, and he becomes a handsome prince. He escorts Clara on a magical journey through the Land of Snow where the Snow Queen and snowflakes dance for them. They journey on to the Land of Sweets. There they are welcomed by the Sugar Plum Fairy who throws them a lavish party with dances from Spain, Arabia, Russia, and Asia. The flowers also dance and finally, in The Nutcracker's most familiar waltz, the Sugar Plum Fairy dances. Clara and her prince leave the Land of Sweets and Clara awakens the next morning under the Christmas tree with The Nutcracker still clutched in her arms.
