A Tale of the Nutcracker
“A Tale of the Nutcracker” is a retro 1950’s themed production inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” directed by RPA’s Dance Director Josh Murry-Hawkins. Join us at a party on Christmas Eve at the Williams residence where Clara eagerly awaits the arrival of her favorite aunt Debra Meiers who is bringing a new line of toys from Meier and Frank for the children to play with, including a Nutcracker… What magic will occur as Clara dreams of human sized mice, enchanted soldiers, snow fairies, and a land of dancing sweets. Blending acrobatics, classical ballet, jazz, and more with music by Tchaikovsky and Duke Ellington this production brings something for everyone. December 16th at 6:00pm and December 17th at 1:00pm at Fort Vancouver High School.

June Recitals
Our end of the year recitals are an opportunity for all Riverside Performing Arts students to perform in a professional theatre for family and friends. June recitals are divided into two shows. One for ages 2-7, “Fairy Gully” (that classic 1992 animated movie with fairies and a talking bat) and one for ages 8-adult, “On Broadway”. All students are welcome to perform, but are not required unless they are in a focus class, TLC, and YDC. The production fee is $50 per student and covers the cost of videography and photography. Tickets are $15-25 plus fees per person and are non-refundable. Ticket proceeds go to the scholarship program for those who need financial assistance. Check back for volunteer info soon!
