Steve Brewer, the theatre's artistic director, mentions that this year's performance will return to more classic interpretations of Tchaikovsky's work. Director Christina Franz, in her ninth year with the production, emphasizes her intent to keep the show fresh, noting last year featured whimsical elements not found in the original. This year promises a more authentic experience for audiences in the local community.
