Today's Deal:$10 For One Admission To Nutcracker (Dress Rehearsal) On Wednesday 12/15 @ 7:00pm From Eagle Performing Arts Center ($22 Value) - 150 Available

When it comes to the treasured Christmas memories of my childhood, few match the magic and wonder of watching toys and sweet treats spring to life in The Nutcracker. On the other hand, when my Uncle Jerry would see Christmas toys coming to life, it was a sure sign he'd had too much egg nog.

For a true taste of holiday spirit, lay off the holiday spirits and indulge instead in the warm, fuzzy feeling you'll get from Eagle Performing Arts Center's production of The Nutcracker. From the Edwardian elegance of an old-world Christmas celebration, audiences are swept into a romantic world of fairytale adventure and sugarplum dreams. Exemplifying the essence of young ones' holiday fantasies, The Nutcracker appeals to the child in each of us, which is why it's become an essential tradition in Idaho and around the world.

Staged by EPAC Resident Choreographer Lisa Moon, this year's production features Chalnessa Eames and Benjamin Griffiths of Pacific Northwest Ballet, reprising their roles as the Sugarplum Fairy and the Cavalier. Together with a cast of 100 EPAC dancers, these bonafide beaus and belles of the barre promise an exquisite evening of enchantment.
