You Know it's the Holidays When....

This weekend is the Annual Nutcracker Ballet, presented by Ballet Renee, the official company of Newcomb School of Ballet. On Sunday, December 10 at 2pm, families from around Central Texas will arrive at the CAC for a holiday tradition.

Personally, my own little Munchkin and I will be dressed to the nines (her idea) and probably as close to the front row as we can get. I say as close as we can get because we've been getting calls and selling tickets all week.

It's not too late, though. The box office opens 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the show and, as of this afternoon, tickets were still available. Tickets are $5 per person.

Munchkin and I hope you'll join us. (she'll be the one in pink polkadots)
