North Fort Myers Academy for the Arts will stage the Tchaikovsky\u2019s beloved ballet, \u201cThe Nutcracker,\u201d at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall this Friday.<\/p>\n

The big stage performance will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, at Barbara B. Mann.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing it at Barbara B. Mann is so special. They get to be on the big stage. A lot of families make an evening out of it,\u201d said Principal Andrew Miller.<\/p>\n

The Nutcracker will feature almost 300 students ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade. The production also includes adults in the show, including Miller as the toy maker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe bus kids down there for the big show on Friday. We have U-Haul trucks to load costumes and props down there,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a special time for the whole school community. It gets everyone in the spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller said he is very proud of his teaching staff, as it goes beyond the two dance teachers who do a fantastic job directing and choreographing the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a team effort. It\u2019s the whole art department \u2013 teachers and parent volunteers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Nutcracker, which has lavish costumes for the dancers tells the story of Clara, a young girl transported into a fantastical dream full of dancing snowflakes, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and an army of toy soldiers.<\/p>\n

Tickets can be purchased at\u00a0https:\/\/www.bbmannpah.com\/events<\/a>\u00a0with price ranging from $22-$45. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the North Fort Myers Academy for the Arts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a tradition,\u201d Millers said. \u201cThe community does come out to support. It\u2019s not just our school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall is 13350 FSW Parkway, Fort Myers.<\/p>\n
