His boss and wife confirm it: his face is "unacceptable." When a plastic surgeon restructures his face, Lette emerges from the operation an Adonis. His life changes overnight: his wife finds him irresistible, women lust after him and men want to be him.  But this dream life soon becomes a nightmare as Lette's surgeon begins to offer his face to anyone who will pay.     Jan. 8 - Feb. 16  Tarragon Theatre's Extraspace, 30 Bridgman Ave.   |   Tickets: $21 - $53    Phone: 416 531-1827 or order online by clicking here   PHOTO:  Bronwen Sharp

National Ballet of Canada - Thye Nutcracker
