I was successfully inoculated
Saturday night against a Christmas-season disease: “The Nutcracker,” which I
have avoided for decades.
It’s not Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky’s fault
that his ballet, which premiered in 1892, mutated into a Holiday Favorite.
Reno’s
Brüka Theater targets overly-serious Classical Music aficionados with “Buttcracker.”
The eighth of that name is short on grand jetés but rich in talent as the festivities swirl through a laugh-out-loud
mixture of “Back to the Future,” “The Misfits,” and the Sugar Plum Fairy envisioned as a fabulous Reno showgirl.

Fatherhood.gov has a propaganda piece on TV that
shows a father and daughter singing and enjoying a tea party. Excellent, except
for the USPS carrier peeking through the window.
