The Story
Nothing says “Season’s Greetings” like holiday music, Sugarplum fairies, and murder. It's opening night for Balance Ballet Company's production of The Nutcracker , and something seriously unbalanced is going down. The star has been killed, moments before the curtain was set to rise. Was it Demi Pointe , the ambitious understudy? Could it have been Pierre Owet , the perfectionist director? Did the overworked PA, Tan Due , finally snap? Only you can solve the case, save the performance, and make sure the holiday season gets off on the right foot!
Appropriate for ages 12+!
