Oakland Ballet Company: Drawing on the original E.T.A. Hoffmann short story that launched the Nutcracker juggernaut on its eventual conquest of American stages, Oakland Ballet’s Graham Lustig set his “Nutcracker” in turn-of-the-century Vienna. While the production premiered with New Jersey’s American Repertory Ballet in 2000, it feels tailor-made for the Paramount Theatre’s glittery Art Deco finery. With the Michael Morgan-directed Oakland Symphony and the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir  joining the orchestra for the Snow Scene, the graceful production features more than 40 young Bay Area dancers (aged 7 to 17) performing alongside the company’s professionals as snowballs, mice, soldiers and candies. Details: 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Dec. 22 and 1 p.m. Dec. 23; Paramount Theatre, Oakland; $24-$97; 510-893-3132, oaklandballet.org.

7 “Mortified”: The nationwide phenomenon returns to the Bay Area. For the uninitiated, “Mortified” is a touring show in which brave souls read/perform accounts of a momentous incident in their life — first kiss, prom, driver’s test, you get the idea — to the heartily voiced approval or disapproval of the (possibly inebriated) audience. The event makes two Bay Area stops this week. Details: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at DNA Lounge, San Francisco; 7:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at New Parish, Oakland; $14-$20; http://getmortified.com.
