The magic starts with the gift of a little wooden doll. Clara falls asleep, and suddenly, visions of sugarplums are no longer dreams. Dancing snowflakes dazzle her eyes. Toy soldiers come to life and protect Clara against the Mouse Queen and her troop!

She enters the Land of Sweets and the audience journeys with her. Come see Central Ohio Youth Ballet’s The Nutcracker at The Woodward Opera House in Mount Vernon the second weekend of December. The magic is ever-expanding as this youth company brings to life the costumes, sets and choreography of this ballet classic. Come dream with us!

Central Ohio Youth Ballet’s The Nutcracker has been a holiday tradition in Central Ohio for over 25 years.
