The Penguin's Tuxedo vs. House Theatre's THE NUTCRACKER

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2012
THE PENGUIN'S TUXEDO presents
THE HOUSE THEATRE OF CHICAGO: THE NUTCRACKER
"Do not fear the darkness, Clara!"
ALL AGES EVENT!

INTRODUCTION:
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! The House Theatre of Chicago, the company behind such magnificent shows as DEATH & HARRY HOUDINI and THE IRON STAG KING, triumphantly ring in the holiday season with a remount of their critically-acclaimed, completely re-imagined adaptation of THE NUTCRACKER -- and THE PENGUIN'S TUXEDO is offering you a special discount ticket for THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6TH, 2012!

SYNOPSIS:
The House's fantastical deconstruction of this holiday classic centers on Clara's journey to save her family from the Rat King before Christmas, with the help of a Nutcracker, a gift from her beloved Uncle Drosselmeyer. What unfolds is a heartwarming holiday story that weaves together riveting dialogue, astonishing puppetry, beautiful song and spellbinding spectacle to tell a darkly moving story of magic and mystery.

JUSTIN SAYS: This re-imagining of THE NUTCRACKER takes the beloved children's classic and turns it on its ear into something truly exceptional. It is rare for a theater show to make you feel like a kid again, and this show packs a punch with its wonder, whimsy and, yes, even pathos. Come see why this show has been such a crowd-pleaser for four years in a row!

THE MEETING:
Depending on our turnout, there will be a talkback with the cast as well as an after-party at the theatre.

COST: $16 SPECIAL GROUP RATE!
