$3 – $15This Holiday Season the Portland Puppet Museum will present The Nutcracker Cracked, a holiday comedy rod puppet show by the Olde World Puppet Theatre.
It’s Christmas Eve and Clara’s 13th birthday. Mayhem and enchantment soon take over as her Uncle Drosselmeyer brings a magical gift awaking her fondest dreams. Join Clara and her little brother Fritz as the entire house comes alive while they attempt to decorate the tree. Set to the classical music of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet with over 84 dazzling, transforming rod puppets, this show is a holiday treat for the entire Family.
Puppet show is approximately 38 minutes long, perfect for the little ones. The indoor puppet theater seats 25 guests. We even have little chairs for the smaller kids.
Doors open at 1:30 for seating and ticket purchases. Online pre-purchases are highly recommended because these shows sell out!
