TCB

TCB’s long-running “Nutcracker” has a unique twist: its sets, costumes and much of the choreography are directly recreated from the original 1892 “Nutcracker” danced in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Back in the late 1990s, TCB received a grant to recreate the production from photographs — including sets, costumes, props and much of the choreography.

The oldest ballet company in the region, TCB has been around since 1955, and has been presenting a “Nutcracker” at Tacoma’s historic Pantages Theatre — complete with live accompaniment by the Tacoma City Ballet Orchestra — since 1983.

Ben Wiggins, the managing director of the TCB Ski, Board and Bike shop, said that while fewer people were coming to Ohakune for skiing and snowboarding, they’ve seen more visitors who want to go golfing, fishing, camping and mountain biking.

Not to be deterred by the string of bad news, Long Live GoGo is hosting a show at the Howard Theatre that’s meant to be entertaining and healing, featuring go-go locals TCB, TOB, Reaction Band and more.
