Nutcracker

The Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre presents “An Afternoon with the Sugar Plum Fairy”

The Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre’s annual presentation of The Nutcracker is one of my favorite Grand Strand holiday traditions. It’s beautiful, complete with elaborate costuming and sets. The talent is amazing and I always find myself marveling at the fact that these kids (and most adults) are locals.

On Sunday, November 23rd, the company will host An Afternoon with the Sugar Plum Fairy. There will be two seatings, the first at 1 p.m. and the second at 4 p.m.

During the event, the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy and other characters from the show will perform, pose with guests for photos, and sweet treats will be served. The cost is $15 per person and these events are a fundraiser for the ballet company.

To purchase tickets, visit their website.

CYBT’s presentation of The Nutcracker is this weekend!

The Nutcracker, performed by the Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre, has been a Christmas tradition of ours for the past three years. It’s so beautiful that you’ll find it hard to believe it’s presented by local dance students. The sets are detailed and elaborate. The costumes are, as well. The dancers are so talented and the entire production is very professional.

The year, the shows run Friday, December 6th through Sunday, December 8th, with a 7 p.m. show on Friday and 4 p.m. shows on Saturday and Sunday. They are at Beach Church Auditorium on George Bishop Parkway in Myrtle Beach. Tickets are available online or at the door. They are $20 for adults and $15 for children/seniors.

I promise I get no compensation, nor do I have a child involved. I just love this presentation *that* much. If you can, go. You won’t regret it!

Attention all prima ballerinas! This Sunday, September 9, 2012 from 2 to 4 p.m., the Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre is holding auditions for their annual holiday performance of The Nutcracker. I’ve written about it several times. That show is a time-honored tradition in our family. It’s beautiful!

They are looking for girls ages 4 to 10, boys ages 6 to 10, and adults for the party scenes. I’ve secretly always wanted one of those party roles. 🙂

Two things I’m looking forward to most this holiday season

By MyrtleBeachforFamilies Leave a Comment

As much as I hate walking into any given store in October and seeing Christmas trees, my mind can’t help but to wander to candy canes and hot chocolate. Over the past week I heard and was reminded of a few events that I’m looking forward too.

The Coastal Youth Ballet’s presentation of The Nutcracker – It’s simply beautiful. We’ve attended performances for the past two years and I’m brought to tears each time. It show is so very professional and gorgeous. This year the shows are on December 10th at 5:00 p.m. and 11th at 3:00 p.m. Adult tickets are $25, children aged 16 and under are $15. The shows are at Myrtle Beach High School and there are typically gifts and concessions available for sale. I can’t recommend it enough! Call 843-651-2006 for more information or to purchase your tickets.

Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland – A huge holiday lights display choreographed to music, holiday treats, pony rides, a petting zoo, games, balloons, and so much more at Pelican’s stadium? I’m in! The show begins on November 11th and runs to January 8th, from dusk to 10:00 p.m. Pricing is by carload, with a car or mini-van costing $25.50. Rates rise as the vehicle gets bigger. You can check out their site for more information. It looks like so much fun!
