THE NUTCRACKER WILL ENTERTAIN ON THE BIG SCREEN
Hilton Head Dance Theatre’s 35th anniversary season production of The Nutcracker will be a fresh and unique experience as it will move to the big screens at Park Plaza Cinemas. Hilton Head Dance Theatre first presented the holiday classic in 1985.
The logistics of transitioning from performances in front of a live audience to preparing for filming have been challenging, said Lori Finger, board president of Hilton Head Dance Theatre.

Just because you can’t gather with a group of like-minded people doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Earth Day on April 22.
This year’s event — the 50th anniversary of the holiday — will be celebrated online with Digital Earth Day, according to the Earth Day Network.
“Amid the recent outbreak, that means using our voices to drive action online rather than in person,” said Kathleen Rogers, president of Earth Day Network.
HILTON HEAD CELEBRATES WITH POPULAR ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE
