The Joel Hall Dancers & Center (JHDC) returns its critically acclaimed “Nuts & Bolts” dance extravaganza—a reimagining of The Nutcracker—to the Chicago stage at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 N. Dearborn St.

This one-of-a-kind “Nutcracker” hops cultures and genres, fusing classic Tchaikovsky with Duke Ellington and house music.

The 10th incarnation of this holiday performance will also kick off JHDC’s 40th-anniversary celebration season (2014-15).

“Nuts & Bolts: 2014” will be Saturday, Nov. 29, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. as well as Sunday, Nov. 30, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $40, with discount rates available for students and seniors. Visit nutsandbolts.brownpapertickets.com or call the box office at 312-337-6543.
