This winter, lose yourself in the quiet magic of A Nutcracker, presented by DCS and DTS. A lush, Pacific Northwest reimagining with choreography by Joshua Grant and Tchaikovsky’s beloved score.
Drosselmeyer’s quiet, wallflower nephew escapes beyond the edge of what he knows and into a forest alive with wonder: gnomes tending ancient roots, an elusive sparkling unicorn, chanterelles spinning like golden flames, a rushing river full of salmon, fairies weaving light through the trees, and the regal Lady Rhododendron with her little helpers scooting across the mossy floor. Drawn into their world and guided by Estella and her shimmering constellation of stars, he begins to see himself, not as a bystander, but as someone with light of his own.
A new kind of Nutcracker.
A story to return to.
A winter tradition for the Pacific Northwest.
Three performances only.
Carco Theatre; Renton, WA Fri Dec 5th at 6:30
