    Set against the backdrop of Revolutionary-era Philadelphia, the story follows two children entrusted with a magical key and the “Nutcracker” on the trip of a lifetime, meeting George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and other colorful characters. This dynamic, hour-long production is an abridged version of the classic holiday tale and is designed for families with children of all ages. Nutcracker 1776 features a cast of nearly 200 Rock School students, including the School’s pre-professional students and its award-winning prodigies. Students in the production not only hail from Philadelphia, but from across the nation, as well as Colombia, Mexico, Spain, France, Bulgaria, Thailand, Japan, and Canada.
