Sierra Nevada Ballet will be performing “Peanutcracker – The Story in a Nut Shell” on Dec. 6 in the Bob Boldrick Theater in the Carson City Community Center at 2 and 7pm.

Based on Lev Ivanov‘s original ballet “The Nutcracker,” “Peanutcracker” is a shorter, 45-minute narrated version that is designed for families with younger children to introduce them to ballet.

This year’s performances will feature Malik Berry from the Dance Theatre of Harlem and Chloe Felesina
from Ballet X and the Sierra Nevada Ballet professional company. More than 50 local children will perform.

The Youth Theater Carson City Showstoppers will present classic Christmas songs before the 2pm event and the Carson City Symphony’s Strings In The Schools group will perform holiday music prior to the 7pm performance. The pre-show entertainment starts 45 minutes before each event.

Ticket prices start at $6 for youth (15 and under); all other tickets are $11 and can be reserved by calling
Gina Nelson at 775.220.4452 or emailing gina704@msn.com. Tickets are also on sale on-site before each
