The Nutcracker
Written by K.L. Eveleigh and J.L. Dunsdon
In this brand new adaptation of the holiday classic, Aurora Drosselmeyer and her kid siblings Dyllan and Aubrey are magically transported into the enchanted realm of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Toy Army, the Evil Mouse Queen, and a mysterious figure known only as The Nutcracker. But who is this Nutcracker fellow, and why is everything in the realm falling apart? Only Aurora and her siblings can save the day, and if they want to rescue the land before Christmas morning, they’ll need to learn a little holiday magic.
All the magic and mystery of the original story, with a new a new comedic twist. This isn’t the ballet, folks!
