New York Theatre Ballet returns to the Robinson Grand this Thanksgiving weekend with Keith Michael's The Nutcracker, following the company's performance of The Firebird here last year. Reimagined in Art Nouveau style circa 1907, this hour-long production trades a traditional staging for clockwork imps, a luminous owl that flies above the audience, and a dance performed with oversized chopsticks-- built specifically for family audiences ages 3 and up. Presented by the Cultural Foundation of Harrison County.
