First off, Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. OK, now that THAT is out of the way. It’s time for Savage Wonder’s latest holiday production: Die Nutcracker Harder, a wild, genre-melting mash-up of A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, and Die Hard, co-produced with Exit12 Dance Company.

Performance dates & times are as follows:
● Saturday, December 6 – 4:30 PM

● Sunday, December 14 – 3:30 PM & 8:30 PM

Conceived by writer Christopher Soucy and brought to life under the direction of Christopher
Paul Meyer, Die Nutcracker Harder is a fully choreographed and blocked performance with no props, no costumes, script-in-hand, live sound foley effects, all done in a living-room-style performance space.
Basically, three Christmas classics walk into a bar… and blow it up!
Cast highlights include:
* Kevin Gilmartin (Marvell Repertory Theatre) as The Narrator
* John Hartzell (Hit House Creative) as Husband / John McClane
* Ana Anderson (Savage Wonder regular) as Wife / Holly
* Dean Linnard (Berkeley Rep, Portland Stage, Playwrights Horizons) as Ghosts / Marley
* Topher Kage (Savage Wonder)
Each performance will be surrounded by holiday spectacle: pre- and post-show events,
seasonal drinks at The Grape Rebellion, pop-up gallery activations, and spontaneous festive
ambiance — making every performance a full Savage Wonder holiday experience. For more details, see below.
Happy Holidays & Yippee-ki-yay, muth….
