Pinketon Ballet Theatre's 23rd Annual Nutcracker Ballet
Support Your Local Sheriff
...and your Mayor...and your Assessor. Now is your chance to show your support and give your community leaders a hearty cheer! Join the fun at Pinkerton Ballet Theatre's 23rd annual production of "The Nutcracker Ballet". Each of our special guest performers brings his own persona to characterize "Mother Gigogne;" an ever-popular comedic character with exaggerated makeup, costume and flamboyant behavior. Mother Gigogne, a role which is traditionally played by a man, is an enormous woman who conceals a whole brood of children beneath her skirts.
Friday night's show will find Mayor Bob Crowell mixing things up, Sheriff Ken Furlong will be in the driver's seat on Saturday and Assessor Dave Dawley will calculate the situation to the best of his ability in Sunday afternoon's presentation.
In addition to these special guest performers Pinkerton is pleased to present Rachel Speidel Little from the Oakland Ballet as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Matthew Linzer, who comes to "The Nutcracker Ballet" from Smuin Ballet in San Francisco, as the Cavalier.
Tickets are available at Carson City Florist, 1954 Highway 50 East, 887-1717. General admission is $22.00, seniors and students, $18.00. For further information: 775-297-5007 or www.pinkertonballettheatre.com.
