Preview: Swan Lake at The National Theatre in February!

Happy Monday ya’ll!

Boy, do I have an fun and snazzy post today regarding an impressive production coming to DC’s National Theatre next month – Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake presented by the St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre! The ballet features prima ballerina Irina Kolesnikova, who is making her long-anticipated US debut.

Tuesday Tidbits – 306

Happy Tuesday ya’ll!

  • 12 Genius Travel Hacks for Toddlers
  • My favorite musical, RENT, is coming to the National Theatre November 12 – 17! RENT follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams without selling out. With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and creativity reminds us to measure our lives with the only thing that truly matters – love. You can buy tickets here.
  • I remember my mom and I talking about doing this with Ava when she was old enough when she was a little baby – taking Ava to see the Nutcracker. Now that Ava takes ballet and jazz and is old enough to enjoy the Nutcracker, I decided this is the year to begin this special Christmas decision. The cherry on top? Finding a redacted version of the Nutcracker (because Ava is 4) + a special Christmas Tea. BalletNova Center for Dance for the win!
  • My happy, happy boy.
He has since gotten a haircut!
