The annual Magic City Nutcracker Patron Party celebrates and honors the sponsors and patrons of the Magic City Nutcracker. Because of their generous support, Magic City Performing Arts is able to provide need-based scholarships for children and dancers to be in the performance, college scholarships, and free, weekly dance classes at the Birmingham Boys and Girls Club Bessemer. MCN is grateful for the outpouring of support from the Central Alabama community.
The ballet features 140 dancers from 33 studios making this a true community production. Guest Principal Artists Adriana Alvarado and Luis V Santana Gonzalez or CentroDanza Puerto Rico, attended the event after performing the roles of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. Guest artists from Formations Dance Company (Whitney Renfroe and Nell Goza Artistic Directors) were in attendance along with dancers from Samford Dance Company (Alisa McCool, Artistic Director).
MCPA Artistic Director, Stephanie Rangel says, “We are humbled that the community would support us again this season. I truly hope this performance brings joy to all who see it and everyone who performs in it each season.”
