Join an amazing cast of performers and dancers under the direction and choreographic genius of Ursula Smith as they pour some brown sugar sizzle on the classic story of Tchaikovsky’s seasonal and warming classic, “The Nutcracker.” A legacy for generations that spans ethnicities, Smith’s take brings what the company itself notes as a “magnificent spectacle” diverse audiences have enjoyed for the past several years.
The 2020 Edition, A Cultural Holiday Experience, was presented virtually using landmark locations around the city of Birmingham as the scenic backdrops. Through this virtual performance, dancers leaped into hearts across the city, proving that in spite of the pandemic, the show really must, and could, go on.
For the 2021 holiday season, the Brown Sugar Nutcracker is properly named The Maskeruade Edition, as the full cast, crew, and audience will don their best mask throughout the presentation of the performance for everyone’s safety.
