The annual performance of “The Nutcracker” may be a few weeks away, but for those wanting to dig deeper, Friday is your chance.

“This is an unusual opportunity to gain insight to “The Nutcracker,” the music and the dance,” Symphony Guild president Eulaine McIntosh said. “It is going to be a fun time for all ages.”

Attendees will be introduced to Clara and the Nutcracker Prince and receive a history of “The Nutcracker” and background information on the characters.
