The Buttcracker: A Nutcracker Burlesque premiered December 5th, 2016 at Uptown Underground, performing for a sold-out crowd. It returned in 2017 to Uptown Underground for five nights, and sold out again. In 2018, the show moved to Reggies Rock Club for five nights and sold out again. Our last year of performance we moved to The Den’s Heath Main stage, which fits over 285 audience members, and again enjoyed sold out performances. In 2020 we produced an online variety show to celebrate our fifth year, but took a hiatus in 2021. Now the show returns bigger and better than ever. Over the course of five years, thousands of audience members have enjoyed this witty, campy, alternative re-telling of the holiday classic, and we are thrilled to return in 2022 to the Greenhouse Theater Center.
