Tierney, Tom
Cut and Assemble a
Toy Theater : The
Nutcracker Ballet
contributed his colorful score
to E.T.A. Hoffman's tale
"Nutcracker and the King of
Mice" he created one of the
most beloved ballets in the
repertoire. The world of The
Nutcracker is one of dreams
and enchantment: children's
playthings come alive; toy
soldiers vanquish an army of
mice; a little girl voyages with
a nutcracker-turned-prince to a
magic kingdom where
sugarplums and flowers whirl
about in exotic dances. Since
Tchaikovsky's classic ballet
premiered in 1892, it has been
the dream of young and old to
be wafted to this fairy world by
attending a full production;
once experienced, it is never
forgotten. Now designer Tom

the enchantment in your own
living room. With a few basic
materials and tools, and a few
hours of assembly time (fully
