Lake Area Ballet Bringing Back ‘The Nutcracker’ To Lake Charles

Is it too early to start talking about Christmas and events going on in Southwest Louisiana and Lake Charles for the upcoming holiday? We don't think so. So many people love the Christmas holidays and get jazzed to see and or hear about any events coming to the area.

One of those events is The Nutcracker which will be performed right here in Lake Charles for a three-day run this December. It is presented by the Lake Area Ballet Theatre and they will be performing at all shows.

What is cool this year is they are giving not only the public a chance to come to see the show but they are offering school-only performances as well. Those special performances include private schools, home schools, and retirement centers, and the show is offered at a special reduced ticket rate.

All the shows will take place at the Rosa Heart Theatre inside the Lake Charles Civic Center. The shows are scheduled as follows:

Private Schools, home schools, and retirement centers performances:

December 7th at 9:00 a.m.

December 8th at 9:00 a.m.

Public Performances are:

December 8th at 7:00 pm

December 9th there are two shows -- One at 2:00 p.m. and another one at 7:00 p.m.

The ballet said in a Facebook post,

We are providing an opportunity for public and private schools, home schools, and retirement centers to experience THE NUTCRACKER at a reduced rate.

All school performances will be held at Rosa Hart Theatre, Lake Charles Civic Center.
