Beautiful costumes, magical scenes, and the sounds of Tchaikovsky will bring a holiday tradition back to Lafayette.
A classic tale, "The Nutcracker" presented by the Lafayette Ballet Theatre, will return to the Heymann Performing Arts Center for two performances this December.
And dancers from across Acadiana are working diligently to bring the beloved tale of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince to life.
KATC's Abby Breidenbach was LIVE with more from the dancers and director Shannon Heath.
