With nearly 300 performers in dazzling costumes, travel through a magical world of life-size dolls, toy soldiers, and delicate snowflakes to the fabulous Land of Sweets, home of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. Orange County's longest-running Nutcracker production with its exuberant French, Spanish, Arabian, Russian, and Chinese dances, is the ultimate feel-good family tradition.
For more than 40 years, Ballet Repertory Theatre (BRT) has proudly produced great performances as an all-volunteer regional dance company based in Huntington Beach. Its educational mission is to provide serious-minded teen students from the well-established Orange County Dance Center with the opportunity to perform in a professional atmosphere, and to offer to the local community quality ballet performances at affordable prices. Though the Nutcracker is its largest production, BRT also presents a Fall Festival, with a mixed bill of classical and contemporary pieces, and a full-length classic in the spring such as Cinderella, Coppelia, or La Bayadère.
The Nutcracker production is funded through memberships and donations from the local community, business advertising space in a souvenir program, and sweatshirts sold at the Orange County Dance Center. At the theater, the BRTA also sells refreshments and ballet memorabilia to patrons, and holds a raffle.
