Champaign Urbana Ballet's The Nutcracker

Champaign Urbana Ballet's The Nutcracker is available locally as a limited release book. Designer A.C. Racette, author Tracy McCabe, and several collaborators have recreated the Champaign Urbana Ballet's stunning production of The Nutcracker in an exquisitely designed children's hardcover, cloth-bound storybook with a behind-the-scenes narrative for mature readers. Contributions from artistic director Deanna Doty and scenic designer Andy Warfel complement McCabe's story direction, providing insights into the art of ballet and theater. Intricate artwork and a full-color layout on every page were designed by A.C. Racette using the vivid photography of artist Dan Merlo. This keepsake book of a treasured ballet is only available in a limited first edition. You and your child will enjoy magic moments reading together or studying the enchanting images.
