Holiday Production
​
​
All shows are performed at area schools and to the public at an area theatre. The performance includes dancers from 1st grade through 12th grade with dances ranging from intermediate level to a pre-professional level. By taking our Holiday show on the road, it gives the dancers the opportunity to bring the joy of dance, drama and the excitement of a theatre production to those who might not have the opportunity to enjoy it. Feature roles and dance solos are available for those participating in our placement program. Detailed eligibility, time commitments and costs associated with this performance can be found at the Customer Service Counter during fall registration. Rehearsals begin in late October.

Production Description
During a snowy December, there were festive and exciting holiday on-goings at the Maple Town Orphanage on December 24th! A special gift was delivered to Maple Town. The children discovered beautiful ornaments in the box and upon hanging them onto the tree, they magically came to life and danced for them! They also discovered a very unique gift, a walking, talking, life size robot who created quite a bit of mischief! As the evening began to conclude, Aunt Nan, the sweet owner of Maple Town, began to gather the children for bed time. After the younger children went to sleep, Rose, the oldest child at Maple Town, discovered a shimmering star ornament that was still in the gift box. As Rose placed the star ornament on top of the tree, a Star Dust Fairy appeared out of nowhere. The beautiful and graceful Star Dust Fairy offered Rose one wish. Rose closed her eyes and wished that she could discover her real family. Instantly, Rose found herself in an abandoned train yard of toys that had run away from Santa's workshop. The runaway toys fled the North Pole, refusing to be given away to children as holiday gifts. They felt that children would mistreat them and that they would be forgotten and thrown in a dark, crowded closet by spoiled children. Rose was confused as to why her wish had landed her in the abandoned, run away toy train yard. Rose felt that there had to be a reason that she was there. As the toys introduced themselves to her and as certain challenges began to arise among the toys, and as Rose grew fond of the toys, she began to discover that there was an important purpose for her and the toys to be in the train yard together.
