Rockville Civic Ballet brings Clara and her nutcracker prince to the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre for eight performances across the first two weekends of December, directed by Eleanor Simpson and Erin Kwong.
The 406-seat theater in Civic Center Park is small enough that even the back rows feel close to the dancers, and the ticket prices are a fraction of a big-city Nutcracker.
Parent tip: Pick a 2 pm matinee for younger kids, and note that all sales are final, so check your calendar before you buy.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
