The Nutcracker

Gulf Coast Ballet of Orange Beach will present two performances of "The Nutcracker" this holiday season. Performances will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday and Jan. 30 at the Erie Meyer Civic Center in Gulf Shores. The performers are 50 students of Gulf Coast Ballet, three guest ballerinas and seven actors. The performers range in age from 2 to 67 years old and have been rehearsing for three months. The Nutcracker is based on the novel "The Nutcracker and the King of Mice" written by E.T.A. Hoffman of a girl receiving a toy nutcracker from her mysterious godfather, then slips off into a magical dream world
The Beachin’ clan will be in attendance and I’ll report on the show.
