Just want to remind everyone of the fun, lively performance of Nutcracker coming up this weekend, presented by GMPA at Harwood on Saturday 11/21.

I ended up at the blocking rehearsal Wednesday and now am REALLY looking forward to the show – the choreography is upbeat and attention-grabbing, the adapted story is well-paced, and it is just really inspiring to see what kids can accomplish.

There are all ages of dancers on the stage and all forms of dancing, with a heavy Celtic/Highland influence. The music is a mix of classic Tchaikovsky as well as traditional and contemporary music from Ireland, Scotland and the US.

GMPA is Green Mountain Performing Arts, a local nonprofit arts organization, is located across from Snowfire. Tucked away in the corner next to Dave’s Fitness, they offer classes for ALL ages and levels in Irish, Highland (= Scottish), ballet, breakin’, hiphop, jazz, and chorus.

Please come Saturday! It is great to be able to support this cool organization; cheer on the kids (many of whom you’ll know or recognize) who have worked so hard to put it on; and especially lovely to find a little personal holiday joy before we fully head into the rush of the Season next week. Tickets are $16 for adults, $12 for kids and there are two shows: at 4 and at 7. Tickets can be purchased at the show (cash) or in advance (credit): http://www.greenmountainperformingarts.org

Hope to see you there!
