Clarksville,  TN – On Saturday, December 8th at 7:00pm the Dance Theatre of Tennessee and Bridgestone Americas Trust Fund presents the Montgomery leg of its touring production of “The Nutcracker” at the Austin Peay State University Clement Auditorium.

The sparkling magic of the season comes to life in Dance Theatre of Tennessee’s enchanting version of The Nutcracker. Highlighted by Tchaikovsky’s brilliant score, the irresistible story of young Clara, a special gift and her fanciful dream to a world of sugary confections has charmed generations. Dance Theatre of Tennessee brings this endearing holiday classic with brand new sets and costumes for the second year in a row to Montgomery county!

It also provides the local youth in each county an opportunity to perform and participate and start a holiday tradition they can call their own.  After a successful premiere last year where the buzz and response from the community was very overwhelming, DTT is bringing this production back bigger and better than ever.

DTT’s touring Nutcracker will have youth performers that come from different parts of Middle Tennessee and neighboring cities including local Clarksville children and military families.  A surprise celebrity narrator lends its voice to add to the magic of this wonderful holiday tradition.

Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan reprises her special guest role as the Mother Ginger. In addition, young audience members are invited to come and partake on a Nutcracker story time at the lobby during the afternoon performances and have their pictures taken with the Sugar Plum Fairy.

“Part of our mission in bringing the beauty of ballet and the magic of dance to the people is providing access to professional and high quality productions to cities and communities where they would otherwise not have the opportunity,” shares Artistic Director Christopher Mohnani.
