LAPIERRE SCHOOL/CHRISTMAS SHOW

Courtney Peix, one of the ballet teachers at LaPierre is holding her Christmas show “A Christmas Toy Story” in Reading and Bridgewater this year. Her company Contrapose Dance, and many LaPierre students performed this original show for the first time last year in Cambridge, MA with much success. She decided to tour the show to the north and south shore this year.
This is a very family friendly performance featuring her 7 professional dancers and 30 students-most of them from LaPierre! The show is 1 hour long and tickets are $8.00 children and $12.00 adults (general admission)
Here are all the details:

Synopsis:
The charming fable takes place in Santa's workshop after the elves break for dinner. Several broken toys find themselves ridiculed and shunned by their well-made counterparts. Luckily, a wind fairy arrives to blow away the attacking well-made toys, leaving the broken toys in the workshop. At first happy to be alone, the broken toys --- a toy soldier who has a short leg, a teddy bear who remains unstuffed, a ballerina whose pointe shoes are too big, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy who are sewn together and a Jack-in-the-Box who cannot open - soon realize that Santa no longer has enough toys to bring to waiting children. Rather than despair, the broken toys band together and use their combined resourcefulness to fix each other, surprising the wind fairy, the elves and even themselves. Christmas is saved!
