'The Nutcracker' Dances into Bowie in December

The Ballet Theatre of Maryland will perform the show in Bowie on Dec. 7 and 8.

Bring a bit of whimsy to this Christmas season by joining Clara and her Nutcracker prince as they traverse the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweet, battling life-sized, sword-wielding rats along the way.

The Ballet Theatre of Maryland's production of "The Nutcracker" opens at the Bowie Center for the Performing Arts at 7 p.m. on Dec. 7, with a second show at 3 p.m. on Dec. 8. 

"This ballet is comfortably familiar but fresh, lively and joyous. It is often breathtakingly beautiful, both in dance and in scenery...every detail speaks of creative commitment," said Mary Johnson of The Baltimore Sun.

Tickets for the production are on sale now and can be purchased online here. The cost is $31 for adults, $25 for seniors, $13 for children and $17 for students. The Bowie Center for the Performing Arts is located at 15200 Annapolis Rd., Bowie.

If you miss the opening performances in Bowie, you can also catch the show in Annapolis at the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts on Dec. 14, 15, 21, and 22. Check the Maryland Ballet Theatre's website for more details
