We presented two shows of "It's a Wonderful Christmas!"
December 22nd, 2007 at the Emerson Cultural Center in Bozeman, showcasing the collaboration
of award winning musicians and dancers on stage. Audience members exclaimed,
"It
was the best show in town!", "Such high quality, so impressive!", "Such wonderful
ideas...(you) have such a talent for putting things together with such heart. Bravo!" View and purchase photos of the event captured by our photo elf, Cassidy Cook.
