The above photo of a scene from The Nutcracker ballet, was photographed through the ground floor window of the Self-Help Building at 122 North Elm Street, at Friendly Avenue. Formerly, the ground floor of the 10-story building housed the Junior League's Bargain Box. That wonderful business has long since moved to Mill Street and the ground floor of the Self-Help Building has been renovated. It is possible to walk by and see and hear performances by community groups. Just after the Tree Lighting in Center City Park last Friday, during the Festival of Lights, the Greensboro Ballet and the Greensboro Community Orchestra were practicing here for the upcoming performances of the Nutcracker (Dec 12- 14th at the Carolina Theatre see HERE).
The dress rehearsal in the window sure generated a lot of interest, which hopefully, will result in even more ticket sales. The Nutcracker seems to be Greensboro's favorite ballet.
Happy Tuesday!
