Donate Today to Bring Nutcracker Key West Return in 2012

Key West has been designated one of the top 20 small towns in which to live in the United States. The designation was given for various criteria, one being the quality of the dance and theatrical experiences offered.
Theatrical opportunities abound; however, in the past few years we have lost The Founders, who created a yearly community theatrical production at TWFAC, Island Opera, and the Pops. Producing the bi-annual production of Nutcracker Key West requires many layers of support, and we now find ourselves at the level needed to secure this season’s production. Nutcracker Key West is scheduled return for the 2012 season, and currently needs pledges from it's fans of support before Monday May 7, 2012 in order to sign the contract to retain the performances dates at TWFAC. Pledges would not be due until the fall. As we prepare to bring this well loved work to the stage at Tennessee Williams Theatre, we must face the financial reality that many arts organizations are facing and reach out to our community for support.
Contracting the Tennessee Williams Theatre and rehearsal space, hiring dancers, restoring the costumes, and setting the stage, are many factors that play into the financial underpinnings of this production. Nutcracker Key West needs the community’s support to continue this special holiday tradition, with it's tiny chickens, humorous roosters, lively shrimp, and brilliant jewels of the Atocha.
Donations can be made here, and pledges may be made at the Contact tab. Be a part of the magic and consider sponsoring a part of this piece of our heritage to bring Nutcracker Key West back to the stage in 2012!
