Nutcracker

By Kevin Kling
Published December 22, 2002 at 9:00 PM PST

Commentator and storyteller Kevin Kling remembers as a child being enamored of becoming a dancer -- a desire he grew out of. Nevertheless, as an adult, an invitation to participate in a production of The Nutcracker leads him to attempt to re-live the dream.
