Ballet scheduled for weekend

Members of the Lone Star Ballet will utilize their bodies in telling the tale of “The Nutcracker Suite” this weekend.

“The premier will be an extravaganza superior to any presentation Lone Star Ballet has offered. The new production will bring wonder and awe to young and old alike,” the Web site reports.

The dancers will give five performances of the magical tale that takes viewers on a journey through the land of the Sugarplum Fairy.
