San Diego - The Dance Conservatory & La Diego Dance Theater Presents: Guess Who Stole the Nutcracker?  An Old Classic with a New Twist.  Created & Directed by Daniel Marshall. 
          Each year that Claire grew she distances herself from the Nutcracker. This also distanced her from the Nutcracker Prince who diligently awaiting her arrival each year. After 4 years the Prince began to become cold and withdrawn from the land of sweets. He was often referred to as the grouch. Even his physical features started to dissolve and transform him into the Grouch.
          The sugar plum fairy grew wearing trying to keep the Grouch from turning the land of sweets into the land of sour. The sugarplum Fairy heard from Mr. Blizz and Queen Ice that Claire had been neglecting her Nutcracker doll for years.
          The sugarplum at this point knew she had to do whatever it took in order to save her land. The Grouch with his bitter soul also knew having the nutcracker doll would give him complete power over the land. The nutcracker is the one thing that stands between the sweetness and bitterness in the land. The Sugar Plum Fairy had grown weary and weak falling into an endless slumber but with her last conscious breath she called out to Claire to help restore her kingdom.
