Don't miss out on the annual holiday tradition of The Nutcracker ballet at CMU's new Asteria Theatre from December 19-23. Eight live performances of this full-length ballet will be presented by Western Colorado's premier professional ballet company, Colorado West Performing Arts Company (CWPAC). This enchanting two-act ballet takes you alongside Clara's magical journey to defeat the Mouse King and join the Nutcracker Prince in the Land of Sweets, leaving the theatre with plenty to share and remember.
Featuring thirteen professional company artists, three trainees, and other talented local youth who auditioned for supporting roles, this show runs just under two hours, including a 20-minute intermission. After each performance, opportunities to meet the cast and take photos will be available in the auditorium or lobby.
