Pictures From TRB's "Southwest Nutcracker"

KGUN TV-9 in Tucson has some nice pictures from Tucson Regional Ballet's "A Southwest Nutcracker" (Founder and Artistic Director Linda Walker). Way back in the day, I performed with TRB (when it was known as Tucson Community Ballet):

The original, full length classical ballet translates the traditional Nutcracker to Tucson in the 1880's complete with the battle of the coyotes and the US Cavalry. Watching a Southwest Nutcracker, you travel with young Maria (Clara) and the Nutcracker General over the glistening, falling snow of Mt. Lemmon to a Desert Dream of Chili Peppers, Mama Pinata and the waltzing Desert Poppies.
