Club Drosselmeyer 1941

Green Door Labs’ Kellian Adams invites you to ditch what you know about Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker for the premiere of interactive production Club Drosselmeyer 1941. The immersive work transforms Oberon into a jazz supper club in 1940s Boston, where a scientist and magician named Herr Drosselmeyer welcomes a host of luminaries to dance the night away—amid whispers that he and his niece Dr. Clara Stahlbaum are working on a new military technology. Chat with the characters to solve puzzles about what the duo’s “Project Nutcracker” might be, or hit the dance floor as an eight-piece swing band performs a rollicking rewrite of Tchaikovsky’s score to the delight of aerialists and dancers. Swing along with the Sugar Plum Fairy when Club Drosselmeyer 1941 enchants Oberon from Dec. 16 to 21.  / Nathan Tavares
