The Oglebay Institute School of Dance is putting on another production this December. This holiday season, the dance students are performing their rendition of The Nutcracker. The students, Cecilia Sweeney, Analise Baker, Sydney Gilman, Claire Carson, Marlee Smith, and Jaxon Baker, are all performing in the production. The story of The Nutcracker is about a little girl named Clara, who is gifted a nutcracker at her Christmas party. She then falls asleep with the help of the sugar plum fairy and dreams of her and her nutcracker going through different stages of her dream together. Clara experiences a battle, a land of snow, travels through different countries, a candy land, and a land of flowers. This show will be available to watch at Ohio University Eastern on December 11th, the Oglebay Mansion on December 14, at the Towngate Theatre on December 18th, 19th, and 21st, and finally at the Wilson Lodge in the Glessner Auditorium on December 22nd. Each ticket is $20 per person and can be purchased at https://oionline.com/calendar/ . We hope to see your support of these dancers, and you’re in for a great show!
