WINTER 2015 PRODUCTION
NOT a ballet, THE MAGIC NUTCRACKER, by Nancy Keys, is a staged play based on the traditional story by E.T.A. Hoffman and the adaptation by Alexandre Dumas.
The Nutcracker is a wonderful Christmas classic that has been popular with audiences around the world for many generations. Most people are familiar with the story presented as a ballet, but we've decided to exchange the dancing for dialogue.
Nutcracker is fabulous story full of excitement, adventure, magic and mystery where the real world crosses over to fantasy, and a young girl's imagination becomes the key to a happy ending, or not. Marie and Fritz, the mysterious uncle Drosselmeyer, the evil Mouse King and the devious Mouse Queen, dolls that come alive, kingdoms with candy rivers and sugar plum trees, and of course, the magic Nutcracker - and it all happens on Christmas Eve.
Twenty-three talented young actors and actresses from across Lambton County bring this wonderful story to life and include: Shayla Bisson, Kate Bowen, Sophia Chateauneuf, Dawson Currie, Bryce Dinyer, Drayton Doran, Ryan Godwin, Ally Goodacre, Megan Huizinga, Alyson Jagt, Lily Johnson, Julia Laton, Emma McEwen-Harvey, Dylan Moran, Ava Racicot, Beth Schoenmakers, Ryan Shaw, Hope Sutherland, Jazmin Taylor, Jesse Vanderveeken, Kelly Wilks, Emily Wright and Lauren Wright.
For this project, the challenge was in rebranding an established product to attract new audiences, while ensuring that current users feel connected. The results were outstanding.
