THE NUTCRACKER

Dec. 5-28 The Atlanta Ballet's annual production of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece has been an integral part of the city's holiday season for more than 40 years. The show tells the timeless tale of a young girl who awakens at midnight on Christmas Eve to find her prized toy has come to life to do battle with the Mouse King's army. From dancing snowflakes to lively Russian nesting dolls, the extravagant production at The Fox Theatre is sure to prove a hit with youthful spirits ages 8 to 80. www.foxtheatre.org

INVASION: CHRISTMAS CAROL

Through Dec. 23 Dickens' beloved fable gets a major makeover in this Dad's Garage Theatre show, a sequel of sorts to last year's critically acclaimed Invasion: Our Town. Mixing scripted drama and improv, it features classic characters like Ebenezer Scrooge, but each night different ghosts will visit (which will be a complete surprise to the cast). Regardless of who shows up, you'll never view this hoary holiday chestnut in quite the same way. www.dadsgarage.com

SAM THE LOVESICK SNOWMAN

Nov. 15 through Jan. 4 Check out visionary puppet-master Jon Ludwig's latest creation at the Center for Puppetry Arts, which tells the tale of a snowman that meets a dog who has been sent outside in the cold. When the pooch tells Sam about the wonders of the warm stove inside, he falls in love with the appliance, trying to avoid the affections of a young snowwoman in the pursuit of his seemingly doomed romance. It's great holiday fun the whole family can enjoy. www.puppet.org

CHRISTMAS WITH THE ASO

Dec. 11-13 This annual celebration has become an Atlanta tradition on par with the lighting of the Macy's tree. With Director of Choruses Norman Mackenzie leading the combined forces of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, Morehouse College Glee Club and Gwinnett Young Singers at Symphony Hall, this is a dynamic display of the power of music. The program includes classic carols, allowing you to sing along with more than 400 musicians and chanteuses. www.atlantasymphony.org
