The Nutcracker - A Grunin Center Holiday Tradition

December 14

By Toms River Macaroni Kid November 2, 2024

Join Grunin Center for another year of this holiday tradition. The Ballet for Young Audiences production of The Nutcracker tells the story of Clara, a young girl on the brink of womanhood whose dreams are both childlike and tinged with romance. She is the favorite godchild of Herr Drosselmeyer, a mysterious clockmaker, who helps to transport Clara and her Nutcracker Prince to a special realm.

This delightful ballet is a dream story brought to life through music and dance. The Nutcracker tells the story of Clara, a young girl who’s magical journey begins with a Nutcracker doll and ends with the Land of Sweets. Along the way, you’ll meet the Mouse King, Flowers, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and a cast of enchanting characters. This ballet is narrated for your added enjoyment.

The Nutcracker will be performed on the Main Stage Saturday December 14th at 1:00 and 4:00PM.  Tickets can be purchased here.
