2010-08-28T23:25:11-04:00

“The Nutcracker” is moving north.
The traditional Christmas production by the Dalton Arts Project will be held at The Colonnade in Ringgold instead of Dalton High School in December, said Berrien Long, the artistic director at DAP who will coordinate her 18th “Nutcracker” performance this year. She said the nonprofit organization’s board made the decision to move. The performances have been held over one weekend in December. But due to increased popularity — there has been a waiting list for tickets — the group needed a larger theater, she said. The seven shows last December drew 3,500 attendees. About 350 children and adults participate in “The Nutcracker” each year.
