Synopsis
Cracked Nuts is set at Stahlbaum Incorporated's annual office Christmas party. The type A office manager, Clara, has meticulously planned a perfect evening for her coworkers. The night goes in a... different... direction, however, when an uninvited guest arrives to 'strip' away the colleagues' inhibitions (you read that right). When a blizzard traps the office (and its new guest) at work wayyyy past the party's end, a dance battle for the last bottle of booze is the only path forward. Office romances, friendly competition, and a lot of HR violations make Cracked Nuts a hilarious show filled with dancing, tons of laughs, and Tchaikovsky's classic Nutcracker score. You won't want to miss this ADULT ONLY take on the Nutcracker this holiday season!
