THE NUTCRACKER SCHOOL MATINEE PERFORMANCE
The Magic of this holiday season will once again be offered to area students with performances of the classic "NUTCRACKER BALLET."
Stephen & Canan Jackson of The John Hayes O'Neill Studio of Dance in Rome are presenting the holiday performances with a cast of 150 local and area dancers and performers.
As part of our ongoing commitment of making dance available to children and students, we are offering two school Matinees at the Capitol Theatre in Rome, New York on Wednesday and Thursday December 11h & 12th 2024 at 10:00 am. Admission is $7.00 per student. We are also listed on the roster of artists for the Regional Arts-In-Education Services with MOBOCES. If you wish to make your reservation through “AIE” please contact Tracy Pulverenti at tpulverenti@moboces.org.RESERVE YOUR SCHOOL TODAY
We have offered this multifaceted opportunity for the past thirty-three years with great success. The students have enjoyed themselves immensely. They can immerse themselves in the production completely, thus they are entertained and most importantly learn about the Art of Dance. Since these students will become our future arts audience, it is imperative that they be exposed to different art forms so that we may develop and nurture an intelligent, supportive and enthusiastic audience.
We have a dual purpose in that we must support and recognize the talents of the young aspiring professionals and at the same time educate our young audience, so they know what they are seeing and what to look for from dance performances and other theater experiences.
This year we are again offering a tool for classroom teachers in our “NUTCRACKER STUDY GUIDE”. Our guide directly links the experience of attending the performance to the New York State Standards.
