This year s The Chocolate Nutcracker, a ballet performance hosted by It Takes a Village Inc., will take on a different theme.
The ballet typically takes place during the holidays and was scheduled for November 2020, but organizers postponed the performance because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Because the performance won t be occurring during its normal time frame, Steven Massey, founder of It Takes a Village, has changed this year s ballet to a Black History Month theme while still creating a show that encompasses the Chocolate Nutcracker.
This year s show will take place at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Feb. 27 at the Topeka Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10-$25 and can be purchased by visiting the box office or topekaperformingarts.org.
