About this Event
One-Man Nutcracker
written & performed by Chris Davis
directed by Mary Tuomanen
sound design by Adriano Shaplin
choreography by Hallie Rumsey-Lasersohn
You know the Nutcracker the ballet, but what if the ballet was performed by only one man? If the daughter Marie, little boy Fritz, creepy uncle Drosselmeir, the mice, the Sugar Plum fairy, were all channeled through one actor. Chris Davis is proud to bring you One-Man Nutcracker, a re-telling of the original E.T.A. Hoffman Nutcracker Story and the Ballet.
"Condenses the two-hour classic into a ballet power hour." - Thinking Dance
"A strikingly original writer & performer." - The Scotsman
"...a refreshing splash to the face, laced with warm wit and humanity."- Broad St. Review
