Mondays can be a little rough. Especially a beautiful like today. One way to get through it all is to take a few minutes to think ahead to next weekend. You won’t spend too much time because the weekend is still many days away but you get that nice little …
Both my children appreciate a little “fancy”. Whether it is dressing up for a special occasion, or having just the right accessory, these little things matter. It is the frivolous and unimportant things that are important sometimes. You don’t have to be a 5 year old girl to appreciate the …
Boston Ballet’s newest show, Pricked, was a bit of a mystery for me. When I first heard the title I thought perhaps it would be an interpretation of Sleeping Beauty . I don’t like to read too much about a performance before I see it, because I want to experience …
You might think I’m referring to the show on my side of the river at the American Repertory Theatre: The Donkey Show when you see: men in drag, flying fruit, and little bling here and there, but I’m not. I’m talking about the Sir Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella which premiered in …

As I sit outside class, rack after rack of beautiful hand-stitched costumes roll by. They will soon be coming to life on stage in dress rehearsals making the renderings of the newest production of the Nutcracker come to life. The dewdrops fairy’s bodice and tutu alone has 4,000 crystals set …
