Tallulah’s Nutcracker

Tallulah goes to dance school, but now her dream of being in a real ballet with a “real ballet company in  a real theater” has come true. The rehearsals take up most of her time, she lets everyone know it, and soon comes opening night. Tallulah overcomes her nervousness, but creates a domino effect on stage when she steps on another mouse’s tail. Down they fall. Later, off-stage the dance master, Clara, and the Sugar Plum Fairy all recount their own past on stage ballet mishaps. Now feeling better “the dance master, ‘in ballet, embarrassing things happen all the time, but a REAL dancer keeps right on dancing. And that’s just what you did…’ ”         Happy ending.
