Wooden Heart Follies Play Coming to you December 1-4, 2022, "Wooden Heart Follies" is an original family musical written for the Steubenville Nutcracker Village. It brings nine nutcrackers to life, but with a new twist: comic lyrics have been added! The story begins once upon a time in a magical land called Steubenville, where the mad scientist nutcracker falls in love with his human designer and turns the Nutcracker Village upside down... Audiences will discover whether nutcrackers really do like sugar plums, and whether or not wooden hearts can fall in love. | | | | | |
