The Conwell Middle Magnet School After School All Stars (ASAS) and PA Ballet students had an opportunity to spectate the Nutcracker Ballet that is being performed at the Kimmel Center. It was hosted on Dec. 20 through 11:00 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. According to ASAS coordinator and Conwell Middle School secretary Ms. Maria.

The Kimmel center is a large theater dedicated to spreading diversity between the audience through Performing Arts and Education, according to the Kimmel Center website. The Kimmel center is located at 300 S. Broad St. in Philadelphia, just six miles from Conwell.

Ms. Maria said that she enjoyed the performance, describing it as, “a story without words.” She also stated that she, “experienced the full show, and she loved the story, beauty, and atmosphere.” 

Mr. Young, an ASAS assistant stated, “the play demonstrated the history of the Nutcracker greatly. It helps expose students to different types of media than what we have now.” 

Students that participate in the Conwell Middle School PA Ballet program were able to receive a trip to the Kimmel Center using a bus as a means of transportation. 

One of many students that attended the play, J. Gonzalez – section 72, has said that he liked his experience at the Kimmel Center.

“[It was] enjoyable due to their experience and mastery over their performance,” Gonzalez said.

He also stated that the performance simply made you want to watch the actors act in their respective roles. 

If you like to attend the play for yourself, visit the Kimmel Center website. The performance is currently being held through Dec 9 – December 28.
