Introduce your students to the magic of ballet and live theater with Southern California’s most spectacular production of The Nutcracker from critically acclaimed Inland Pacific Ballet. This production tells the story of a young girl named Clara who receives a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve and sets out on a wondrous journey to the Land of the Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets.

The Nutcracker comes to life in this magnificent ballet set to Tchaikovsky’s classic score, and more than 80 dancers on stage. Toy soldiers, life-sized dancing dolls, falling snow, a fantastic dream with battling mice, dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, gingerbread characters, and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy stir the imagination.

NOTE: Performances are modified, and not all scenes are included; however, the full story of The Nutcracker is told.
