Port Angeles’ Ballet Workshop Productions and the Juan De Fuca Foundation bring together more than 60 ballet students, theater performers and guest dance artists from across the West Coast for a new staging of “The Nutcracker.”

Sequim sends 31 performers for the shows at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, at the Port Angeles High School Performing Arts Center, 304 E. Park Ave.

The six most-featured Sequim girls include Emily Grubb, Kate D’Amico, Isabella Knott, Brianna Jack, Eden Batson and Hannah Lewis. Also performing are Aya Thygesen from the Pacific Northwest Ballet School, Noah Long from the National Ballet of Canada and Martina Prefontaine from the San Francisco Ballet School.

The show’s story follows Marie and her brother Frank in 1895 in Clallam County who are given a magical nutcracker from their godfather Gregers M. Lauridsen, a wealthy business tycoon, at their family’s Christmas Eve barn dance. Following the festivities, the siblings are taken on a journey with the Nutcracker Prince, dreaming of a fairytale land where sugar plums dance and lavender sparkles in every field.

This version is set to Tchaikovsky’s traditional “Nutcracker” score while paying tribute to the history of life on the North Olympic Peninsula with locally made costumes and hand-painted backdrops of the Olympic Mountains and lavender fields.

Tickets cost $15-$35 with children 14 and under $10. Purchase tickets at www.jffa.org, Port Book and News and Joyful Noise Music. For more information, call 457-5411.
