Nutcracker - The Dolls

10 x 8 inches

From 2013 performance of the Nutcracker Ballet by Coasting Along Theatre Society, Sechelt, BC.

This magenta pink costume for the Nutcracker Doll is another I made for the cast in 2012. Here, the male and female mechanical dolls express their infatuation with each other before they wind down and must be carried off stage by adults at the house party on Christmas Eve.
