My daughter Gabby enjoyed the parade in Akron before heading into the Civic Theatre for opening day at the Nutcracker.
Val (left) has been a huge help in getting me prepared and keeping me in line backstage. Chris, the director, (right) has had to put up with me distracting the rest of the cast and has had the nearly impossible task of making me "look like a dancer." Both Val and Chris are awesome and fun to work with. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all they have done for me.
