Plymouth-Canton Ballet's 'Nutcracker' Props Stolen in Trailer Theft

The ballet company is racing to replace stolen items before their 40th anniversary performance in December.

The theft occurred early Sunday morning in Canton Township, Michigan, involving a black, 24-foot trailer containing vital 'Nutcracker' props.
Stolen items include a 17-foot Christmas tree and a grandfather clock, essential for the ballet's December 7-8 performances.
Witnesses reported seeing a white pickup and a silver sedan at the scene, and local authorities are seeking public assistance in locating the trailer.
The community has rallied to support the ballet company, raising over $11,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to replace the stolen props.
The production marks the 40th anniversary of the Plymouth-Canton Ballet's 'Nutcracker,' featuring over 80 students from 20 local dance studios.
