More Chances to See 'Nutcracker' in San Mateo County

The Peninsula Ballet Theatre has two upcoming performances at the Fox Theatre.

Did you miss last week's performance of The Nutcracker by Ballet America?

Fear not - if you still have hopes to see the beloved holiday ballet this year, you have four more chances coming up to see a show at the historic Fox Theatre downtown.

Peninsula Ballet Theatre (PBT) just wrapped up a pair of shows in Reno, Nev., and is now heading home for four shows at the Fox this Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 15 and 16, and next Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 22 and 23.

If the shows sell out, additional shows may be added, according to PBT's website.

"Inspired by a young girl’s dream, Nutcracker is everyone’s favorite family-friendly ballet, directed by internationally renowned Bruce Steivel, Artistic Director of Peninsula Ballet Theatre," PBT's website explains. "Following the exquisite, sparkling finale, audience members are invited on-stage to meet the dancers. You will applaud every breathtaking moment as you enjoy the magic that only Nutcracker brings."

PBT representatives say, they love performing on the Peninsula, because the area provides "a calm alternative to the issues of parking and expense of San Francisco entertainment."

"Peninsula Ballet Theatre prides itself on being the second-oldest professional dance company in the Bay Area, serving San Mateo County, San Francisco and the East Bay."

San Mateo-based Peninsula Ballet Theatre also offers dance classes in ballet, jazz, hip-hop, folklorico, ballroom, tap and Zumba. New classes are being offered every month.

For ticket information for 'The Nutcracker,' visit the Fox Theatre website or call 650-FOX-7770 and choose option '1' for tickets.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
