Gay Men's Chorus of LA to present "Nutcracker"

GAY MEN’S CHORUS
OF LOS ANGELES
Proudly Presents
NUTCRACKER
at the Alex Theatre
www.gmcla.org

WHAT: GMCLA continues its highly anticipated 31st season with a magical rendition of the enchanting splendor of NUTCRACKER, in a new staging of Tchaikovsky’s magnificent music with spectacular dance, and familiar holiday songs that include Deck The Hall, Home for Christmas, We Need a Little Christmas, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and many more. Choreographed by Billy Rugh of Creative Planet Schools for the Arts, he has masterfully met the difficult challenge of re-inventing a classic Holiday tale that includes Ballet, Jazz and modern movement.

Nutcracker is based on the story "The Nutcracker and the King of Mice" written by E.T.A. Hoffman.† GMCLA offers a traditional performance of the time-honored classic but with a new twist: when Clarence Stahlbaum receives a ballerina as a gift, he's privately delighted. But after his bullying brother shatters the gift, all seems lost. But it's not; it's just beginning.

WHEN: Saturday, December 19th, 2009 at 3:00pm and 8:00pm
Sunday, December 20th at 3:00pm

WHERE: Alex Theatre, 216 North Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203

TICKETS: $25.00 - $49; by calling 818-243-ALEX (2539) or www.gmcla.org
