Statesboro School of Dance and Artistic Director Shay Morgan are excited to celebrate another year of their annual production of the Nutcracker Ballet. Started in 2012, thousands from our area have watched this beautiful classic ballet performance as they celebrate the holiday season.
This year’s ballet, proudly presented by Bulloch Pediatrics Group, will take place Sunday, December 4th at the Georgia Southern University Performing Arts Center. There are two opportunities to take in this Christmas tradition – 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. – and tickets are available through the Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $15 each are can be purchased by clicking here.
The classic ballet features Abbie Durden as Clara, Harper Whitlock as Fritz, Katherine Whitlock as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Aaron Carter as the Sugar Plum Cavalier, and Claire Pagliarullo as the Snow Queen. The Nutcracker Ballet follows the story of young Clara Stahlbaum as her toy Nutcracker comes alive and battles the Mouse King and visits magical realms. Danced to the Nutcracker Suite by Peter Tchaikovsky, this ballet has become a staple performance, and Christmas season kick-off, for Statesboro School of Dance.
“I am proud of all of my Statesboro School of Dance dancers. Their hard work and dedication can be seen as they take the stage. I have been very thankful that through the years I have gotten to do what I love and then share that love of dance with others. It is a dream come true” said Shay Morgan.
Tickets for Statesboro School of Dance’s Nutcracker can be purchased through the Georgia Southern University Performing Arts Center Box Office by calling 912-478-7999 or by clicking here.
