Zenon Dance Company recently commanded the stage with a thrilling concert at Cowles Center, and now the high-flying troupe is back to entertain kids of all ages with its original production of "The Nutcracker According to Mother Goose." Zenon members perform as familiar characters from nursery rhymes (including Little Bo Peep, Jack and Jill and Mary with her little lamb) while blending in themes from the quintessential Christmas ballet. A thoroughly clever take on two classics meant to be together for the holidays.
