About the event
The Dance Center of Walla Walla is proud to present “The Nutcracker” with choreography by Caleb Leitch, Idalee Hutson-Fish, and Anna Lantz and produced by Idalee Hutson-Fish. This will be our first live performance back at Cordiner Hall in three years, and we are very excited to bring the magic back to the Walla Walla community.
Watch as Marie dreams of her Nutcracker Prince and journeys through dancing snowflakes, to the magical Land of Sweets, all set to Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score! We are thrilled to have guest artists Rachel Richardson, with The American Ballet Theatre, as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Mark Tucker, principle with Eugene Ballet, as our Cavalier. This year make The Dance Center's first production of The Nutcracker a part of your holiday tradition. Create memories to last a lifetime as you experience this exquisitely danced confection with family and friends.
