    The Watchmaker's Song: A Drive-In Nutcracker Experience.

    This year, the audience will follow the Watchmaker and his loved ones through an entirely new narrative, as conceived by Ventana Ballet's new co-artistic director, Jerreme Rodriguez, in an effort to make the most of this nontraditional venue. "The new adaptation honors the elements of The Watchmaker’s Song that set it apart from traditional stagings of The Nutcracker Ballet," they tell us, and it's enlivened by Duke Ellington’s jazzy rendition of the original Tchaikovsky music.
    Through Dec. 19. Fri.-Sat., 6:30 & 8pm. $25 per person.  
    2400 E. Cesar Chavez
