Description

This beloved Atlanta holiday tradition, set in the vibrant 1940s on Auburn Avenue, is celebrated as one of the first ethnicized Nutcracker performances, choreographed by the talented Waverly T. Lucas II.

Experience the magic as the Marcus Garveyite Nutcracker leads a captivating cast, including Tap Dancing Soldiers, Giant Jazzy Rats, sultry Arabian dancers, and the lively Black Russians—all set to the infectious drumbeats of L. Gerard Reid. Watch as Brown Sugar and her Chocolatier guide Mother Spice and her tumbling Spice Drops through a whimsical Land of Sweets, featuring the bubbly Coca-Cola Pas de Six.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this enchanting performance!
