The Grinch meets "The Nutcracker" in Southern Ballet Theatre's "A Very Grinchy Christmas". Inspired by Dr. Seuss' classic children's story, this new holiday favorite tells the story of the ultimate Christmas hater, The Grinch, who sets out to steal the presents of everyone in Whoville. Along the way, he orchestrates a battle between a Nutcracker, a Rat King, dolls, mice, toy soldiers and even a pirate ship armed with cannons. But, with the help of Cindy Lou Who and the rest of Whoville, the ultimate grouch learns the true meaning of Christmas.
