WHEELING, W.Va. (WTRF) — It’s the wonder of Christmas morning captured in ballet form.
The Nutcracker’s stunning sets, intricate dances and memorable music are coming to the Capitol Theatre—and your child can be a part of it.
Talmi Entertainment is touring the show in 86 cities, and is looking for local young talent for their Wheeling production on November 27th.
Any dance student age 6 to 17 can try out at the Oglebay Institute School of Dance this Monday from 7 to 9.
The Institute’s director says the 86-city tour isn’t just about performing a 19th century classic—it’s about bringing peace through an international cast.
“And our local kids will be able to dance with international dancers. I hear they’re bringing in people from France and from China, Italy, and I’m sure Russia and the Ukraine.”
