The Nutcracker to be presented at Wallace State Community College

Hanceville, AL — Wallace State Community College’s Allegro Dance Theatre is partnering with Ballet South and the Cullman Community Theatre to present The Nutcracker Friday-Sunday, Nov. 18-20, with performances at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18 and 19 and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 20.

This will be the third year for the performance of The Nutcracker. The performance showcases dancers in Wallace State’s Dance program, Ballet South, and members of the Cullman Community Theatre. The production is led by Brooke Desnoës, Wallace State’s Dance instructor and owner of Ballet South.

“This is the most beautiful Nutcracker I have ever choreographed,” said Desnoës. “The process of working with Allegro Dance Theatre, Ballet South, and Cullman Community Theatre has been a joy. This is truly a community production! There are new costumes, special effects, and rumor has it that Santa will be attending each performance and welcoming children as they arrive!”

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under and can be purchased in advance at www.balletsouth.booktix.com or at the door.
