The holidays take a strange toll on a performer. We had so much fun during Nutcracker this year. GREAT audiences, energizing music, beautiful weather, no injuries and not one performer came so late that we had to hold the show. (it’s happened a lot; over-slept, forgot we had a show, dog ate my costume, and [...]

Thank you everyone who has been so supportive of The Dolls over the past year. It has been an exciting and full year filled with what will certainly be wonderful memories for seasons to come. Peace and joy in the New Year! XO, Myron

The show is open. It was a very crazy tech-week. Everything managed to come together beautifully however, thanks to all the people who helped make the show happen. From the costumes, the lights, the new set painting, the wigs, the music and of course the performers pulled out all the stops and are continuing to do [...]

Time flies! Holiday time already. Seems like a month ago that we were getting ready to open “The Little Matchgirl” at Christmas last year. I am so happy to be doing Nutcracker again….like hanging out with an old friend. That’s quite the statement considering this will be the 20th version for us. It certainly helps [...]

The last week of rehearsals are always amazing. We move to the stage from the studio and I get to step back and see the dances from a distance. The set, lights and costumes all added on and then…… it hits you that the show and the dances you made up are what is going to be seen [...]

Well, we are into week 4 of rehearsals. Cleopatra complete. The Firebird complete. Le Bleu Dieu complete. Scheherazade 3/4 complete. My brain is reeling from music, twirling, kicking, bumping, stomping and counting. In week 1 I was full of enthusiasm. In week 2 I was kind of wondering why I picked 4 ballets in 4 [...]

It’s that time of year again to plan what you are going to be spending the next year working on. It’s a daunting task. One that I used to put off until the last possible minute. I have learned however that if I choose interesting ideas and don’t try to imagine what in the world [...]
