So keep sending emails, keep selling nuts & magazines don’t forget to turn in the address booklets.

Everyone who placed an initial nut order will be able to pick up the order before Thanksgiving.   

Hip Hop Nutcracker

What do you get when you combine the elegant holiday score of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker and a DJ with pin-sharp contemporary hip hop dance?  A modern mashed up holiday treat entitled the “Hip Hop Nutcracker”.  This production moves the story action to New Year's Eve, replaces the mouse army with a mouse-ear wearing gang, has a humble nut seller who saves the day, and the Land of the Sweets is a nightclub trapped in 1985.

4^th Tier tickets are $20 for girls and $36 for adults per person for the December 15^th show. If you would like to attend the performance, payment is due Friday, November 17^th. There are only a few tickets left, so no late payments will be accepted. We’ll be after the Girl Scout meeting at 6:15pm for the 7:00pm performance. Parents who attend will be chaperoning not only their child but also others as well.
