The performance was held December 4, 2022 at Gar-Field High School and included 57 youth performers, as well as participation from four staff members, Gar-Field High School’s Student theater techs and the support of the WDC Board Members.

In Clara’s Dream, we join the Stahlbuam family on Christmas Eve during their holiday party where Clara receives a Nutcracker as her most beloved gift. When Clara goes to sleep that evening, she is visited by dream fairies. The audience gets to follow her as the Nutcracker comes to life, battles the evil Mouse King, and escorts her to a world of dancing sweets.
