City Ballet of Cleveland presents its annual holiday classic, The Uniquely Cleveland Nutcracker, on Saturday, December 13, at the Lakewood Civic Auditorium. Now in its 13th year, City Ballet of Cleveland’s Uniquely Cleveland Nutcracker is an experience like no other.

The trio makes their way to League Park for an epic baseball battle. Who will win tonight’s baseball game: the Mouse King and his army or the Nutcracker and his baseball team? Be part of the magic as you follow young Katherine on a journey to the lands of her dreams in this uniquely Cleveland twist of a holiday classic.
