There are just three performances left of the Sea Island Nutcracker. It is a uniquely Orcas perspective on a holiday classic.

This full-length dream ballet showcases an inter-generational cast of local talent, with featured roles performed by The Orcas Dance Collective, Junior Dance Collective, Mini Dance Collective and Class Series Students. There are over 50 performers and 180+ costumes with many wildlife and nautical themes that celebrate the magic of our island home.

Many thanks go to the performers and their families, who have dedicated hundreds of hours in rehearsal; the teachers and leaders who have guided them, and a very special thanks to Brown Bear Baking, and the supporters of the Orcas Dance Collective’s Give Orcas campaign whose generous contributions helped fund and underwrite this show!

Final performances are Dec. 15 and 16 at 6 p.m., and a matinee on Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. Ticket prices range from $10-$59. Call 360-376-2281 ext 100, or visit www.orcascenter.org for tickets and more information.
