SnapSessions! podcast for December 2022 presents an encore of a holiday treasure: “Tchickclucksky’s The Nutclucker & Other Chicken Holiday Treats”, a production of Rothman’s HenHouse in association with Large Child Productions. The Nutclucker was the inspiration of Harry “Henny Bockman” Rothman, a player and director of Mendocino’s Hit & Run Theater. Harry was an accomplished chicken imitator and starred in many of Hit & Run’s skits over time, especially any of them involving poultry. In 1995 he approached Doug Nunn to help him produce a chicken-cluckin’ version of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and to combine that with chicken-cluckin’ versions of various Christmas carols. Thus was spawned “The Nutclucker”, which included singers Marilou “Bockbird Broiler”, Jim “Hard Broiler” Brewer, Sandy “Cluckfeld” Glickfeld, Ana “Henna” Lucas, Harry “Poutriotti” Rothman, and Doug “Cluck” Nunn, was engineered by Jim Rote-Tisserie.
