CELEBRATE THE WONDER AND MAGIC OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH SANDY’S OWN MOUNTAIN WEST BALLET AS IT PRESENTS THE TIMELESS CLASSIC THE NUTCRACKER
On opening night, the costumes are exquisite and hair and make-up are detailed to perfection. The lights dim, the curtain rises and the music sparks excitement, as the familiar notes fill the air. Both dancers and audiences delight in anticipation of the upcoming production of Mountain West Ballet’s 26th performance of The Nutcracker.
Mountain West Ballet is Sandy City’s community-based, non-profit ballet company. With dancers representing over 25 dance schools, colleges and universities throughout Utah, this community ballet will perform the tale of Clara and her handsome nutcracker prince come to life.
Complete with all the captivating charm The Nutcracker has offered audiences for generations, this special production will be performed December 10 – 20, 2010 at the Theater at Mount Jordan (9360 S. 300 E.) in Sandy. Friday, Saturday and Monday evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m., with Saturday matinee performances beginning at 2:00 p.m.
Sandy City Mayor Tom Dolan notes that, “Mountain West Ballet’s celebration of its 26th annual production of The Nutcracker is a gesture of the community’s commitment to our youth and the arts. We hope this tradition continues for years to come.”
Friday, December 10th will be a special day at the Museum of Peoples and Cultures, and anyone is welcome to attend.
The MPC will be joining with BYU’s United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) club to offer an afternoon of learning and fun to children for an early Christmas present. 
The event will run from 4 to 6 p.m. and will include 4 learning stations, a video, and treats. The categories of the learning stations include math, geography, reading and writing, and art. Children are able to come in at any time and rotate through the stations as they please, free of charge.
“We want to show the kids that the best gift for your self is education,” said Jessica Myers, UNICEF club member.
According to Myers, 24,000 children die every year due to catastrophe, war, famine, and other grievous causes. UNICEF members desire to bring that number “down to zero” by doing whatever they can to serve in their community and without.
“Our goals are to educate members throughout the community about children around the world who are in need of help,” Myers said.
Both the MPC and the UNICEF club hope to give the children of Utah Valley a unique and exciting experience.
“The children will leave the Museum with more than just some treats and a craft,” said Anna McKean, promotions manager at the MPC, “they will get to take new knowledge that they can share with others.”
For more information, visit mpc.byu.edu. Or contact the museum at 801.422.0020 or [email protected]. The MPC is located on 100 E. 700 N. and is open MWF 9-5 and TTh 9-7.
