What do you do when you’ve hired the Beaumont Ballet to come to town to perform The Nutcracker as a fundraiser for the Beulaville Baptist Book Club, and then Madge’s pina colada casserole gives all the dancers food poisoning? Why, you bring in the Velvet Kittens to put their own twist on a Christmas classic. At least, that’s what happens in Mark-Brian Sonna’s A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker, on stage through Dec. 26 at Studio Theatre, 15650 Addison Road.
