Then and Now

November 6, 2025

In the heart of downtown San Antonio, the glow of the Majestic Theatre’s marquee lights up Houston Street, drawing a stream of theatergoers toward its ornate interior.

Clara’s Journey Continues

November 6, 2025

On Christmas Eve, young Clara is gifted a beautiful Nutcracker doll by her mysterious godfather, Drosselmeyer. That night, as the clock strikes midnight, Clara finds herself in the middle of a magical battle between toy soldiers led by the Nutcracker and an army of mice commanded by the fierce Mouse King.
After the Nutcracker triumphs, he transforms into a prince and invites Clara on a fantastical journey. Together, they travel through the sparkling Land of Snow and arrive in the enchanting Land of Sweets, where they are greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy and a host of delightful characters from around the world. Each one performs a unique dance in Clara’s honor.
The adventure is filled with wonder, music and imagination. As the celebration ends, Clara awakens back in her home, left to wonder whether it was all a dream — or something more magical.
