Alameda Civic Ballet (ACB) announced recently will be taking a one-year sabbatical from its annual Nutcracker ballet production, due to last minute problems with Kofman Auditorium. The Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) manages the facility and announced their inability to provide basic building functions too late for ACB to arrange an alternative venue.
