The Nutcracker

Our Nutcracker Program is this Wednesday and I hope many of you can come and watch. It is such a neat program - it's not just a Dance Recital, it's children acting out a Christmas Play, set to music. There is also more Christmas songs and dancing with props in the second half. They do such a good job - you will not be disappointed. And it will definately help you get in the Christmas Spirit!
I'm even in the show as the 'Aunt' - there are several parents involved on stage. These are some photos from the last time the Clay Center group did The Nutcracker, in 2006.

Lauren gets to be a soldier...again this year! Each of the classes works on a part in the show, like Soldiers, Flowers, Mice, Snowflakes, Angels...and then we put them all together the night of the show.

Jalyn was a snowflake last time, this time she's a Soldier, a Flower and a Candy Cane.

Airika was our 'Clara' in 2006. Wasn't she cute!

I always loved this picture of the angels watching and waiting to go on stage. There are so many neat things about the show - you will enjoy it even if you're not there to watch someone specific. It is just so neat to see the kids on the stage trying so hard.
The Show is on Wednesday December 3rd @ 7:00pm at the Martyn Snodgrass Auditorium. Tickets are only $5 for adults and $2 for children - I hope you can make it!
