Ranch thespians offer 'Nutcracker' inspired tale

Theater students at Lakewood Ranch High School will turn a holiday classic into a new favorite Dec. 14, as they perform 'Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical.'

The comedic musical, which centers around a group of nuns who are recording a "TV special" in their convent basement studio, includes Christmas song such as "Santa Ain't Coming' to Our House," and "Twelve Days Prior to Christmas," as well as the nun's take on the ballet classic, "The Nutcracker."

Performances start at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14 and Dec. 15, at Lakewood Ranch High School, 5500 Lakewood Ranch Blvd., Lakewood Ranch.

Admission is $5.
