HIGH 5: ARTS CHANNEL NOW PLAYING: THE NUTCRACKER  

What is it? The best arts A/V on the arts the Internet(s) can offer -- sometimes wonderful, more often just weird, but always entertaining. Check it each week for a videographic (is that a word?) sampler of what's on High 5!

The Joffrey Ballet School is currently performing The Nutcracker, a ballet that's become a holiday tradition. So you can catch Tchaikovsky's masterpiece in real life with High 5's $5 tix – or you can catch the three-minute version put together by these guys. One version has lithe ballet dancers leaping on stage, the other has paper cut-outs taped on sticks and features the phrase "I don't like mustard." Guess which one's better.

 
 
Too Much Light... A Separate Peace Uncommon Comrades

Listen to an audio sample for TML!

See Stoppard discourse on the writer's craft on Charlie Rose! This is just weird.

La Boheme
National Comedy Theatre
See Cedar Lake in action! We don't really know what this has to do with La Boheme,but it's what popped up when we youtub'd it, so...here you go. National Comedy Theater is a completely improvised maelstrom of one-liners, set-ups, punchlines and prat-falls that leaves the audience as breathless as the performers! Playing every Friday and Saturday, no two performances are ever alike, so don't miss out and get your tix today!
