This winter, the classics are all here: From “Little Women” to “A Christmas Carol” to “The Nutcracker,” traditional tales will comfort you. If you’d rather do something a little less traditional, consider creative dance in the form of “NOT-cracker,” the “persnickety penguins” of “ZooZoo” or the over-the-top hilarity of “The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show.” Find a guide to Portland area dance and theatrical performances of the 2025 holiday season at the link in our bio. 📷: Beth Nakamura/The Oregonian #nutcracker #holidays #christmas
