I’m fascinated by the topic behind the Center for Puppetry Arts latest show Ruth and the Green Book for two reasons. 1. I love that the Center is hosting shows specifically for tweens and teens. Ruth and the Green Book is recommended for ages nine and up
2. The subject of this show is travel, but not just any travel. African American travel in the 1950′s and the need for a “Green Book” that served as a guide to establishments that welcomed African Americans. It’s a perfect show to commemorate Black History Month.

The Atlanta Ballet is rightfully quite excited about the upcoming World Premiere of the family friendly ballet Twyla Tharp’s The Princess and the Goblin. Tharp, a world renown choreographer, began her career in 1965 and since then has choreographed more than one hundred thirty-five dances, five Hollywood movies, and directed and choreographed four Broadway shows. The Princess and the Goblin is the first time she’s worked with children in a full-length ballet. The 13 children in the show were hand selected by Tharp from the Atlanta Ballet’s Centre for Dance Education.

If your child is wild about princesses or even just adventure, they’re going to LOVE Disney on Ice Dare to Dream. Feld Entertainment is one of my PR clients and I had the opportunity to see the show in Tampa back in August. The ice spectacular follows the storyline of three of Disney’s most lovable princesses – Tiana, Cinderella and Rapunzel. If you think it’s just a girl show because of the main characters, you’re wrong, there’s lots of adventure for boys that begins with the Shadow man’s soulful solo skate.
 My favorite part of the evening is in the Rapunzel story. Her long hair aids in a heroic escape where she and Flynn swing high above the ice. The crowd becomes part of the show as one member is chosen to assist Rapunzel and Flynn in lighting the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
As you would expect, the music is spectacular, the costumes brilliant and the stage and props really bring these cinematic shows to life – something that isn’t so easy when your dealing with real life vs. digital animation.
