“The Nutcracker” is an elaborate ballet that was first brought to life in 1892. Since its inception, audiences from around the world have seen hundreds of versions performed by thousands of dance companies. Production director, Ms. Carle, says, "The setting at the Coonamessett Inn is perfect as it brings the audience back to the Victorian Christmas Fantasy, which is at the root of the story".

The evening will start at 6PM and guests will be able to mingle and look at the dancers in tutus in the room. Dinner will be serve at 6:30PM. The story telling will begin after dinner, followed by the dance performance. Afterwards, guests will have a chance to chat with and take pictures with the dancers.
