Family suite: Puppetworks stages their version of “The Nutcracker”

It’s not too late to catch the holiday show at Puppetworks, “Nutcracker Sweets.” Based on Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet, it features candies and sweet fruits dancing; the companion story, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier,” is based on a Hans Christian Anderson tale. Both plays feature the wonderful puppets of Puppetworks and are suitable for children ages 3 and up. Performances are Jan. 7 and Jan. 8, at 12:30 pm.

Tickets are $7 for children and $8 for adults.
