Once again upon the boards!

The Blogger has just competed a very successful run in the role of Drosselmeyer in the Pontecorvo Ballet Studios' 20th Anniversary Production of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's most enduring work, The Nutcracker. Two performances in the fine auditorium of Northridge High School on Timber Lane, were enjoyed by packed houses of parents, grandparents and sugar-addled siblings of the talented dancers of the Pontecorvo school.

In the words of one critic, "Lindsay's re-imagined Steampunk watchmaker, Herr Drosselmeyer, romped hair-raisingly across the stage. It was nothing short of bizarre!" It was in a word, exquisite; but not too much, so as not to distract from the real purpose of the evening: a showcase of the dancing!

I am the betting favorite to win a Tony at the Wiffies.
