The Ten Tenors will perform selections from their new album Nostalgica as well as holiday classics November 24-29. Known for their powerful singing and their hijinx, this internationally-renowned group creates a warm intimacy with the audience while their music evokes memories of people, places, and times in history.

The Joffrey Ballet performance of The Nutcracker creates a winter wonderland filled with beauty, magic, and sugarplums. On stage December 11-27, this Chicago favorite will feature the full Joffrey company, local children's choruses, and more than 120 young dancers.

Porchlight Music Theatre tells the classic story of Miracle on 34th Street November 20-January 2. If this story of a whitebearded gentleman who convinces a divorced, cynical single mother, her somber daughter, and the entire state of New York that Santa Claus is no myth doesn't put you in a holiday mood, you must have spiders in your heart.

Enjoy another heartwarming story while you watch a classic radio script come alive through voice actors, sound effects artists, and live musicians. AFTRA/SAG Senior Radio Plays will present It's a Wonderful Life in a free performance at Chicago Cultural Center's Cassidy Theater on December 10.
