The Nutcracker



The Albano Ballet Company is presenting its version of The Nutcracker this season for the 50th year.  It has always been a shoestring operation financially, although I understand the Albano Ballet's performances are good.  This window sign advertising performances at Central Connecticut State University is found in a small antiques store on Park Road in West Hartford.

    Re your question about the sweet 16: She has a $50K wedding to look forward to! :-)

  8. Are you going to go? Ballet usually bores me. Not opera though.

  9. My youngest daughter was a ballet dancer, so I've seen my share, but always enjoy The Nutcracker, part of the season! Great shot and post for the day, Jack! Enjoy a fun weekend, Jack -- and if you're not being good, I promise not to tell Santa!!

  11. I like how they have used their product to construct the window and advertised at the same time for the ballet company!
