    I have six grandchildren in this area and would love the opportunity to take them to this production either Saturday evening or Sunday evening. I know I will have to purchase additional tickets for all of us to go. The five oldest have attended a production of The Nutcracker previously but the youngest has never seen The Nutcracker. He loves music. A fun Christmas tradition that started when my three children were young. I would love to continue this tradition with the grandchildren.

    I checked out the Washington Contemporary Ballet page! I’d love to win because my daughter would love to see the nutcracker live but with us just moving and switching jobs, it’s just not in the budget this year. It’d be incredible to surprise her with tickets.
