“This version of the holiday classic, a fantasy entwining of Georgetown society, American history, and woodland critters, has an exceptionally high Q rating – as in cuuute.” – The Washington Post

For years, generations of Washingtonians have grown up loving—and introducing loved ones to—TWB’s  The Nutcracker .  This one-of-a-kind  Nutcracker, set in 1882 Georgetown, stars  George Washington as the  heroic Nutcracker,  King George III as the  villainous Rat King, Anacostia Indians, frontiersmen, and many other all-American delights. Set to the iconic music of  Pytor Ilych Tchaikovsky, the vibrant performance features scenic designs by  Peter Horne, costume designs by  Judanna Lynn and lighting design by  Tony Tucci. Discover, rediscover, celebrate this all-American Nutcracker production  November 29 through December 23, 2012 at the historic Warner Theatre (previewed by performances at THEARC Theater, November 24 and 25).
