SYRACUSE, NY – Dasher’s Magical Gift, CNY Arts’ original holiday ballet, will present its fourth annual production on December 9 at 11 a.m. at the OnCenter Crouse Hinds Theater in Syracuse.
The show was created for CNY Arts by nationally recognized theater and dance professionals who live and work in the Syracuse area.
The hour-long, narrated ballet features a lively cast of characters, some well-known, such as Dasher, some new, such as the reindeer Peppermint, Sir Ralph Elf, and two slightly confused penguins.
The cast includes Stephen Huffaker of Phoenix (Dasher and Dancer) and Sarah Fisch of Fulton (Cocoa and Pepper).
The costumes and sets are designed to be upbeat and magical, and there are several surprises to enthrall children.
“This ballet is a very accessible introduction to theater and dance for children.” said Carol Dumka, the CNY Arts Board vice president. “With beautiful dancing, exciting visuals, and a message of sharing and selflessness, parents and teachers will love it too!”
Dumka is the Arts in Education coordinator for Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES.
CNY Arts will also hold school performances of Dasher’s Magical Gift on December 6, 7, and 8.
Grade school students travel from schools from all over Central New York to see what, for many, is their first live theatrical performance.
Show tickets range in price from $10 to $19 and can be purchased by phone: (315) 299-5598, at the Symphoria Box Office, 234 Harrison St., Syracuse, or online at: dashersmagicalgift.org.
