For the past six weeks, dancers and choreographers have already been rehearsing for Whidbey Island Dance Theatre’s yearly December holiday show, the “Nutcracker.”

Tickets go on sale the first week of November. The show opens Friday, Dec. 9 and runs through Dec. 18.

WIDT is a nonprofit organization, which means it depends on the help of volunteers. The community is invited to support and contribute to the monumental task of completing preparations in a myriad of ways.
