*Celebrate the holidays with family and friends at Talespinner Children's
Theatre (TCT) *with *CLARA & THE NUTCRACKER* onstage NOW, and running
through Sunday, December 21st at the Reinberger Auditorium, 5209 Detroit
Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44102. What better way to celebrate the holidays??

Clara, the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Nutcracker Prince, and even the Mouse King
are back, and now they're finally ready to tell the REST of the story. It's
a little less about Tchaikovsky, tights, and tutus, and more about
friendship & courage — with plenty of merry magic and musical mischief
along the way.

"Even if you’ve seen* The Nutcracker* a million times, Talespinner puts a
different twist on the classic tale...It’s an enjoyable holiday treat for
all ages." --*Sarah Valek, Cool Cleveland*

"This is fun stuff for kids...*Clara* is a sure-fire winner for families
with small children." --*Christine Howey, Rave & Pan*

*ABOUT TALESPINNER CHILDREN'S THEATRE:* TCT is a Cleveland-based company
that develops and produces highly imaginative, original, collaborative and
interactive professional works for children that also stimulate creative
growth in its artists. At any time, these pieces may involve acting, dance,
music, puppetry, tumbling, drumming, and numerous other artistic
disciplines as imagined by the artistic teams working with and for TCT, and
are open to all creative possibility. TCT's aim is to bring theatre to the
community in its fullest form providing excitement, growth and joy for all
who are involved in and/or touched by its work.   *Clara & the
Nutcracker *concludes
TCT’s third audience and critically acclaimed producing season, which began
with *Aesop’s Pirate Adventure*, and included *The Floating Dolls--a Polish
Folktale*, and *Loki & Lucy*--*A Norse Mythology Story.*

TCT strives to reach across socio-economic, cultural and traditional
boundaries to help awaken and bring better understanding by opening eyes,
ears, hearts and imaginations in the young people (and artists) of
Cleveland and its surrounds.

TCT creates work that remembers that children are smaller people, not
lesser people.
