The Nutcracker is one of the country's favorite Christmas events, and one of the most performed ballets in the world! This magical story of dancing toys and a Nutcracker prince is paired perfectly with Tchaikovsky's beautiful score.

Mexican comedian Carlos Ballarta is touring across the States this fall. Not one to follow in the footsteps of others, Ballarta is the first comic to have performed their whole set in Spanish at multiple venues, including Montreal's Just for Laughs comedy festival. Want three jokes about elotes? He's got them. Famed for his dark sense of humor, Ballarta typically focuses on topics such as politics and religion, with a splash of family life thrown in for good measure. Whether you're learning Spanish or a native speaker, this one's for you!
