Next Generation Ballet performs Nutcracker in Morsani Hall at the Straz Center, following Clara on a Christmas Eve adventure guided by Drosselmeyer, with a battle between toy soldiers and sword-fighting mice and a journey through the Land of Sweets set to Tchaikovsky's score. The company's young dancers perform alongside professional guest artists; the Straz calls it a Tampa holiday tradition. Performances are on December 18, 19, 20 and 22, with two shows on Dec 19 and Dec 20. Select Front Mezzanine and Front Balcony tickets include Clara's Christmas Party before the show, with a hot cocoa bar, holiday treats, a holiday photo opportunity, a Letter to Santa station and appearances by Nutcracker characters.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Read in a browser (curl/WebFetch blocked). Address from the Straz Center ticket office footer on the same page. Times set null: the Straz calendar list view rendered different days/times than the event page (likely viewer-time-zone rendering), so per-performance times are not trusted; dates taken from the event page performance list. No ticket prices are printed on the page.
