In a Nutshell

Family-friendly holiday ballet regales audiences with the timeless tale of young Clara and her wooden nutcracker on three local stages

The Fine Print

Ballet dancers spend an unusual amount of time on their toes, much like the coworker who creeps up behind your chair every day just to watch you for a while. Gaze at grace with this GrouponLive deal from Evergreen City Ballet. Choose from the following options:

Upon arriving at the show, patrons will receive best available seating in the front left section of Lake Washington High School Performing Arts Center, in the mezzanine or balcony section of the Auburn Performing Arts Center, or in the front right section of the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center.

A yearly tradition for the young performers of Evergreen City Ballet, The Nutcracker tells the timeless story of little Clara and her enchanted Christmas present. After an exhausting family celebration, Clara drifts off to sleep beneath the Christmas tree, Nutcracker in arms, unaware that an army of rodents is waiting in the wings. But her toy leaps to life, and with the help of the rest of the Yuletide trimmings, the pair defeat the vile Rat King for good. The dashing, strong-jawed hero then takes his charge on a whirlwind tour of marvelous lands as Tchaikovsky’s score sweeps and blusters like a wintry wind, dropping in on a snowflakes’ ball and paying the Sugarplum Fairy a visit in her Land of Sweets.

Performances at Lake Washington High School Performing Arts Center are especially tailored to young audiences with a truncated running time of one hour, and the other venues attract adult viewers with a stock ticker running above the stage at all times. All productions set the stage with luminous scenery, including cascading snow, a bed that magically sails across the stage, and a big winter moon casting icy light across bare branches.

The Groupon Guide to: Buying a Car

Buying a car is an intimidating experience. The man looks at you. He wants to sell you the car for more than it is worth. Beat the man. Beat the man until he cries with these tips:

  • Always drive the car. This will let you make sure that it is free of the five most deadly species on earth and that it has a floor and the dealer isn’t Flintstone-ing you (a technique wherein the dealer sells you a car with no floor named after Flint Stone, an early dishonest car salesman).

  • Immediately list everything you hate about the car. It has a nick here, a dent there. It is the same color as your rival’s eyes. You looked at them in a field. You were the last man to look at those eyes. Your rival sold you a lemon. He is gone.

  • When the dealer says the price, scream. Oh, scream until your nose bleeds and all of creation fears your machinations. Oh, scream your voice raw, honey. Good heavens!

  • Ride away on your bicycle. This was good practice for when you really decide to buy a car.

Be sure to scream as fiercely as a newborn babe or warrior brave. Scream with all your grit, sweet honey.
