The Nutcracker
It’s the time of year when visions of sugar plums dance in children’s dreams and a Sugar Plum Fairy and assorted other characters dance on the stage. The holiday tradition of “The Nutcracker,” as presented by the Ohio Performing Arts Institute, will make it 27th annual appearance on the local stage at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16, and Saturday, Dec. 17, at the Clark State Performing Arts Center.

The Historic Clifton Mill
The light show began in 1987 with about 100,000 lights. Almost 30 years later, the show has grown tremendously to more than 4 million lights used to create the one-of-a-kind show.
In addition to the light show, Clifton Mill will feature its expanded miniature village collection.
