The University of Louisville Dance Theatre continues its beloved holiday tradition with the 21st annual performance of 鈥淐lara鈥檚 Dream鈥 Dec. 2-4 at the School of Music鈥檚 Comstock Hall.
鈥淐lara’s Dream鈥 is the familiar story of 鈥淭he Nutcracker鈥 from the time that Clara starts dreaming of snow and the land of sweets. There are cotton candy angels and toy soldiers, as well as the variations from foreign lands and, of course, the Sugar Plum Fairy appears. Her dream takes the audience along for a joyful ride through fantasy.
