A dark ‘Nutcracker’

Theater | Will Gartshore: Will Gartshore’s relationship with Bethesda’s Round House Theatre is not new. In 2005, he delightfully assayed an amphibian in “A Year with Frog and Toad,” and more recently he played a bisexual Gallic lothario in “This.” And now with “The Nutcracker,” a new holiday musical, he sort of brings together those experiences to play Monkey — a cheeky French sock monkey to be precise.
