SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone is invited to join the Alamo City Performing Arts Association for a magical performance of The Nutcracker. This holiday classic tells the story of a young girl named Clara who is given the gift of a Nutcracker. On Christmas Eve, she dreams of a battle between toy soldiers and mice. Her Nutcracker turns into a Prince to save the day, but it is she who saves him. He thanks her with a fantastic journey through the Kingdom of Snow and Sweets. As the longest continually running production of The Nutcracker in San Antonio, Choreographer and Artistic Director Scott Conway's beloved version of The Nutcracker is a treat for all San Antonio ballet enthusiasts.
