Preview: ‘The Nutcracker’ at the Harris Center

Another year, another chance to see The Nutcracker. The Harris Center’s got a production of its own, featuring the Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet Theatre. It’s got all the classic Nutcracker elements: sugar plum fairies, rodent royalty, dads—everything you need in a holiday ballet. Oh, you think you know the story already? Look at you, a real Nutcracker-head over here. What about the Nutcracker expanded universe? You might know about the four realms, but have you heard of the fifth realm? It’s technically not canon (yet), but sources say it’s a land chock full of everyone’s favorite culinary nut: the pecan. The more you know!
