Cracked Nuts Synopsis

'Cracked Nuts' is set at Stahlbaum Incorporated's annual office Christmas party. The type A office manager, Clara, has meticulously planned a perfect evening for her coworkers. The night goes in a... different... direction, however, when an uninvited guest arrives to 'strip' away the colleagues' inhibitions (you read that right). When a blizzard traps the office (and its new guest) at work wayyyy past the party's end, a dance battle for the last bottle of booze is the only path forward. Office romances, friendly competition, and a lot of HR violations make Cracked Nuts a hilarious show filled with dancing, tons of laughs, and Tchaikovsky's classic Nutcracker score. You won't want to miss this ADULT ONLY take on the Nutcracker this holiday season!

This is NOT your mother’s Nutcracker.
