This holiday season join the Ballet Theatre of Maryland as they present their full-scale production of The Nutcracker. Following the traditional story of the Christmas ballet, there are small character tweaks to give it a more contemporary feel. Retaining Tchaikovsky's iconic score, the show is augmented by incredible and colorful costumes and sets, making this a delight for both seasoned ballet fans and newcomers alike.

John Waters loves Christmas, and he wants you to know. The legendary cult-filmmaker takes to the stage with his traditional one-man monologue, extolling the virtues of everyone's favorite holiday, from offering advice on Christmas films and music to asking the important questions you've always wanted to be answered by the people's pervert, such as 'Is Santa erotic?'

Featuring spectacular sets and beautifully costumed dancers, the Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet is an annual treat for the whole family. Whimsical and imaginative storytelling blends with the richness of classical dance, dazzling costumes, soaring birds, giant puppets and a grand stage design to make this particular Nutcracker a unique holiday treat not to be missed!
