Ballet Chesapeake has developed a Nutcracker Outreach Program for preschool children held at the Bel Air Armory in December.
Children ages 2 through 6 years old are invited from area child care facilities, preschool programs, Kindergarten programs, and the general public to attend an age appropriate performance that introduces children to the magic of live theater.
This show includes excerpts from the Nutcracker ballet which are performed as a narrator explains the story of Clara and her magical toy. After the performance, costumed dancers lead the children to a decorated Tea Party area for refreshments.
