Artistic director and choreographer John Mattson
has translated the traditional Nutcracker story into a
nostalgic 1940's setting. The production incorporates '40s-style
swing with classical jazz dance styles. The score is comprised
of newly released versions of "The Nutcracker Suite" from
both Duke Ellington and the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
Performers in the production include the
six-member Phoenix Project, 30 members from the Doris Russell
school and special guest performers Eddie Ares and Nancy
Senner. This production has received funding from the Fulton
County Commission under the direction of the Fulton County
Arts Council.
