One of the most exciting traditions at PBS is the rehearsal and presentation each year of The Nutcracker. As usual, the full-length version returns as the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Snow Queen, their cavaliers, and most important of all, Clara and her Nutcracker Prince, will welcome you to the Kingdom of the Sweets in November, before Thanksgiving, so as not to interfere with the holiday season. Performances will be November 23-24 at Franklin Junior High School (formerly Franklin High School) . Rehearsals will begin September 7.
