Puppet masters perform The Nutcracker

Justin and I took our two children to the Puppet Company Playhouse in Glen Echo Park, MD (only took 20 minutes to get there). We saw The Nutcracker, and all four of us are completely in love with it. Wonderful! If you haven't yet gone to this puppet theatre, go right now. Please, take my car.

Lush costumes, stunning puppets, ingenious set design. Only 50 minutes long, and extremely friendly and accommodating to young audiences. If you'd like to introduce your little one to the story of the Nutcracker and the beauty of Tchaikovsky's music, but you're not sure he or she is ready to sit through a full ballet production, this is the perfect solution. Even if you go to a more traditional performance, this version is completely worth it for the puppet artistry.

More puppet shows throughout the year. Check it out at: http://www.thepuppetco.org/
