Who has not been enthralled with the “growing” Christmas Tree? We all have cheered for the Nutcracker Prince when battling with the Mouse King…

In Oceanside, we are so very fortunate to have real performing Theatre. This year at the “Star” Theatre, there will be two Dance Troops performing The Nutcracker Ballet. The pictures below are from the “To the Point” Group . Photographs by Jakrel Photography.







"The Magic of the Nutcracker"
Our Dreams are filled with memories of Christmas past and those memories seem more real as the Years go by.


 Did we Imagine our selves watching Clara's Tree grow bigger and bigger, or were we really there? 




Did we hiss at the Mouse King and when he looked at us did we cringe or was it just a dream? 


This then is the Magic of the Nutcracker Ballet. When danced by Children and Young Folks it seems so much more real, for They do "Believe", and they do "Live" this wonderful incredibly beautiful Story in Dance.

As the Nutcracker Prince takes Clara on her journey through the worlds of exotic dancers and strange lands, we travel with her and live in the moment of our own Childhood again...




The Best part of this experience is that we can travel with Clara into this story of enchantment every year and take own Children into this magical place if only just for one precious evening...

"The Frog Prince" 


From time to time we will be sharing the Art Venues in and Around the Sphere of Influence of Artists Alley.

One of the visually enchanting venues and gourmet delights in uptown Oceanside is Petite Madeline across Coast Hwy from Artists Alley.

This "soft sculpture" the Frog Prince may be viewed at this delightful and morning sunlit eatery. We love to go there and have our visual senses fulfilled as well as our hunger pangs more than surfeited...
