This holiday season prepare to be transported on a magical journey with Clara and the Nutcracker Prince. From the heroic battle against the Mouse King, travel through the Land of the Snowflakes and on to the Kingdom of the Sweets. There you will meet the Sugar Plum Fairy and be entertained by the wonders of the Land of Enchantment. Choreographed by Artistic Director Abra Rudisill with gorgeous costumes and beautiful sets - all to the classic Tchaikovsky score - this is a production sure to bring out the child in all of us. Whether this is your first time seeing a Nutcracker production or it is a time honored holiday tradition, make ACB's 7th Annual Nutcracker part of your holiday festivities.

This year, we are delighted to welcome back special guest stars Ethan and Nikki White of White Tree Fine Art, finalists in Paula Abdul's "Live to Dance". Ethan and Nikki will dance the roles of Snow Queen and King as well as the Arabian couple. Joining them will be other Bay Area guest artists as well as a cast of over one hundred dancers ranging in age from three to sixty. Enjoy the show!

"Thanks for being that spark! We've enjoyed participating in the Nutcracker every year! It's a great production and fulfills much more than you can ever imagine. You provide a great opportunity for our children to learn the art of ballet and to take with them the lessons to apply to every day life."
