The Nutcracker

Our grand niece and nephew, Jessica (toy soldier) and Hunter (party parent), danced in a fun version of the Nutcracker (by the Barlow Arts Conservatory) last night in Provo at the Covey Center. Sheila and I ventured out to catch the first night of the production along with several other family members. It was done very well, and costumes were top notch. Great to see so many young dancers performing, along with a couple professional adults. Of course the funniest of the night was Mother Ginger, but the youngest characters were also very entertaining... party boys, baby mice, and sheep. My favorites were the mechanical doll, one of the court jesters, and the gingerbread kids. The little tumbler was amazing!
