Snappy New Year to all my Modesto View faithful readers! I hope your season was merry and bright! There were many local productions last month. Were you able to attend one or two? I had a joyous time playing Mother Ginger on Dec. 15 with the Central West Ballet’s annual Nutcracker! It was so much fun to see what happens backstage! I embraced every moment! The dancers, the music, the costumes and the sets were glorious! My grandson, Glen who is four and a half, relished every minute! It was his first time seeing The Nutcracker! How lucky we are to live in a city that supports dance, opera, music, drama, poetry and art! We are the lucky ones! Rehearsals have started for Lakewood Youth Theater’s musical Totally Awesome 80’s! It is a joy to collaborate with young performers! Our shows will be March 7 at 6:30 PM and March 8 at 1:30 PM and 6:30 PM. Save the date and come to a performance!
After 13 seasons and 65 successful and amazing productions, Prospect Theater Project is moving downtown on K Street. They will be showcasing their new home with Next Fall by Geoffrey Nauffts in February.
