GMCLA Presents THE NUTCRACKER 12/19, 12/20
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.
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 20st 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
For over thirty years, GMCLA has been making music to end homophobia. Using professional staging and venues (this year including The Broad Stage, Avalon Hollywood and The Alex Theatre), GMCLA's 200 singers create wonderful music and great entertainment in shows for all the family.
This year, GMCLA launches a high school music education program, the Alive Music Project -AMP- which has already received rave reviews from teachers, students and researchers. AMP provides students with a well-rounded mixture of music which educates and provokes discussions about social issues.
