PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island ballet company says its annual production of "The Nutcracker" will go on as scheduled despite the theft the title character's mask and costume, the Sugar Plum Fairy's tutu and other costumes.
Artistic Director Mihailo Djuric (muh-HY'-low JUHR'-itch) says while "a significant blow," the theft has made the dancers determined to make this year's performance extra special.
