Holiday Events 2018: "Gershwin's Magic Key"


This holiday season, I planned some fun holiday activities for our family.  The first was going to the theater to see "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms".  We went on Tuesday night which is a discount night - $5 per person.

  The second was going to The Pioneer Center to see "Gershwin's Magic Key".  


Again, Addie had to work - it was on a Saturday afternoon downtown Reno.


The Pioneer Center is a cool looking building and have lots of great entertainment there with their plays and shows.



What was awesome about this show is it is a free family concert!  It can be pretty costly to take a family of six to a show so this was great!  Thank you Reno for offering things for families.


Before the show, they offered different arts and crafts that the kids could make.  Very cool and they enjoy this type of thing very much!



They made a sillouette of Gershwin on newspaper - the story line was Gershwin was a famous composer and he befriended and helped a poor newspaper boy.
They also made an egg shaker and a straw noise maker.


They made these as well.  They drew the design with a stylus and then colored them with markers.


Program for the show.






Warming up...



It was a wonderful show!  The actors were excellent and the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra played beautifully!


They gave these out one per family as we left.


What a great event!
