The Chicago Tap Theatre will be dancing over to Moraine Valley Community College on Saturday, Dec. 19, at 7:30 p.m. The “Tidings of Tap” performance will be in the Dorothy Menker Theater, in the Fine and Performing Arts Center, on campus, 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills. Tickets are $25 for the general public, $20 for seniors and students, and $10 for children ages 12 and under.
“Tidings of Tap” is a tap dance celebration of all things wintry, including rhythmic and whimsy-filled interpretations of favorite Christmas, Chanukah and winter songs. The fun, yet sophisticated, family-friendly show features seasonal standards and lesser-known songs as well as the spectacular dancing of Chicago Tap Theatre. Children and parents will enjoy the last number, when children are invited on stage to dance.
“Chicago Tap Theatre sets itself apart with choice of music. While we certainly have some of the classics, like ‘Let It Snow’ and ‘Hava Nagila,’ there are so many holiday songs we perform that people probably have never heard. This production is rapidly becoming a tradition for many Chicago families,” said Mark Yonally, artistic director.
Tickets to the “Tidings of Tap” show and other upcoming performances can be purchased online, by calling (708) 974-5500, or at the Box Office located on the south end of the Fine and Performing Arts Center.
