Holiday classic comes to Winthrop

The York County Ballet presents “The Nutcracker” 8 and 3 p.m. Friday and and Saturday at Johnson Hall Theater at Winthrop University, Rock Hill.

It’s the timeless story of a little girl named Clara who falls asleep after a party at her home and dreams herself into a fantastic world where toys become larger than life. Her beloved Nutcracker comes to life and defends her from the Mouse King, then is turned into a Prince.

Tickets are $15 and are available at yorkcountyballet.org, the Winthrop University Bookstore at 2020 Alumni Drive or at the box office at Johnson Hall one hour before the performance begins, if tickets are still available.
