Nutcracker Update

Ashley will be performing as a "Blue Soldier" with "A Cast," which means that she will be performing at the Val Browning Center at Weber State in Ogden Nov. 26-27, and then she will be at the Capitol Theatre the following week (thru Dec. 6). That cast is doing a private performance for American Express in Salt Lake (can you imagine how expensive?!! How lucky--I keep telling Justin he needs to convince his company to spring for Nutrcracker tickets instead of a Christmas party) and then they will do opening night and the first three performances after that. We are so excited for Ashley to have this opportunity--I have to keep pinching myself that Ashley is actually dancing in a Ballet West production (for those not from Utah, Ballet West is Utah's professional ballet company). She is having a great time, and she and Justin have a great time traveling back and forth to and from rehearsals. In the next few weeks, Ashley's costume will be fitted, and a photographer will take pictures of everyone (group and individual) so we can have a record of this event (we can't take pictures or video at ANY time). I wish we could at least see a rehearsal or two, but parents aren't even allowed on the floor where the dancers rehearse (I guess it would get too busy and too distracting up there with all the parents). So we're really looking forward to the performances!!
