A Christmas classic

Just like mistletoe and Santa Claus, "The Nutcracker" is a holiday tradition.

Students at Bessemer Elementary in Greensboro are performing this musical play tonight and Friday night at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. But this isn't a normal elementary school play. Bessemer has brought in a percussion instructor from the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, along with a stage manager, sound and lighting techs, a choreographer and visual artists.

Rebecca Locke, the school's new full-time music teacher, is producing the musical. She oversaw productions of "The Nutcracker" for three seasons in Florida before coming to Greensboro.

Before performing the show themselves, the Bessemer students attended a Greensboro Ballet production of "The Nutcracker."

Admission is free, but donations will be accepted.
