<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Nutcracker comes with great anticipation for children of all ages. Neos Dance Theatre presents the timeless tale as an original production set in Northern Ohio. Neos
Dance Theatre’s story takes a twist from the original tale by paying homage to an iconic age of film, fashion, American Christmas traditions, the industrial age and World War II. Neos Dance Theatre’s A 1940s Nutcracker “puts local history into play in a clever
and spirited reimagining of Nutcracker. Not satisfied with dancing the steps, they’ve danced a city.” – Cool Cleveland
