The Nutty Nutcracker

Beaumont Civic Ballet presents its 55th annual performance of Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker", bringing Southeast Texas its most joyous holiday gift. The Nutty Nutcracker cast over 100 local performers featuring Beaumont Civic Ballet's Junior and Senior Company dancers. In this performance you can expect the unexpected! The story is set in 19th century Germany and opens at a Christmas party where the mysterious Dr. Drosselmeyer gives little Clara a magical toy Nutcracker doll that takes her on an unforgettable journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. Young and old alike will see special effects, including a growing Christmas tree, the firing of a cannon, and pounds of snow falling on stage.
