Nutcracker - Widener Memorial School for the Handicapped



My children's ballet company - Pages To Pirouettes - performed at the Widener Memorial School for the handicapped. This is starting to be a yearly gig - pure charity. We are not paid for this one. But they children and the staff love us. We get paid more in appreciation here than we ever do in money at our normal jobs.



After the show - we all did some ballet together (with the arms only). I became aware of beautiful music played in the background and looked around to see one of the students playing the piano so beautifully that it sounded like a concert hall. Please see this website for a picture of him - http://www.pages-to-pirouettes.com/Widener2008/Widener2008_1.html

I love this school, its principle, the music teacher, and all of its kids.

Nutcracker time



Well it's that time of the year again - Nutcracker. Today starts my own 4-day weekend of Nutcracker. I hate putting on and taking off make-up but every other part of the weekend is great - great music, traditional story. Body has some problems - but so far I'm dealing with them. Hoping for good audiences.

We are at Upper Darby Performing Arts Center - a great venue.
