Performances to be held at this year at The Garfield Theater, the Scripps Ranch High School Theatre, and two very special performances at The Grand Del Mar
 
SAN DIEGO - Nov. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Scripps Performing Arts Academy announced today that students Wessley Edmonds and Revyn Kim have been selected to headline the 2014 cast of The Nutcracker Ballet, a 26 year tradition for the Academy.  The dancers will perform Tchaikovsky’s classic holiday favorite as part of a cast of children who range in age from 3.5 years to 19 years.

Performance dates and times at the Scripps Ranch High School Theatre, located at 10410 Treena St., San Diego, CA 92131, will be Saturday, December 6th at 1:30pm and Sunday, December 7th at 2pm. Featured at both performances will be 12 year old Miss Revyn Kim in the role of Marie. "I am so proud and honored to be trusted with the role of Marie.  Dancing the part of Marie has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember - to finally achieve it feels amazing.  I am having so much fun learning the choreography and rehearsing with my friends.  When the time comes to perform it, I hope to do this role justice,” says Kim.

Performance dates and times at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theater, located at 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037, will be Saturday, December 13th at 2pm and Sunday, December 14th at 2pm. Featured at both performances will be Miss Wessley Edmonds in the role of Marie. “I have to admit, to be Marie this year is a bit nerve-racking.  But I know that the late night rehearsals and hard work my friend Revyn and I put into this wonderful role will be all worth it in the end,” says Edmonds, age 12.

At the crescendo of the holiday season, an elegant abridged version of The Nutcracker will be performed in the Elizabeth Ballroom at the Grand Del Mar, located at 5300 Grand Del Mar Court, San Diego, CA 92130. The show dates and times are Monday, December 22nd at 10:30am and 1:30pm, and Tuesday, December 23rd at 10:30am and 1:30pm. Both performances will be preceded by a beautiful family-friendly Holiday Tea, the proceeds of which will benefit the non-profit organization Isabella’s Giraffe Club which provides funding to the UCSD Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as well as bereavement support to families who suffer the loss of a child.
