One of my favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit is to sit back and listen to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite while watching the classic holiday story unfold on stage.  You don’t have to leave Barrington this weekend to see local and guest ballet dancers bring the story to life. Barrington Youth Dance Ensemble’s 17th Annual Nutcracker Performances are taking place this weekend, starting with opening night TONIGHT at Barrington High School!
