Pandemic aside, CCPA still ‘Taking Care of Christmas’

Posted

The show must go on and so, the Cody Center for the Performing Arts will present its sixth annual Christmas performance to benefit Cody Holiday Helpers. CCPA will be “Taking Care of Christmas” in the Studio Theatre space for a limited audience while simultaneously livestreaming the performances on its website. Performances will take place Dec. 7-10 and donations for Holiday Helpers will also be collected during the week.

“Our annual fundraiser for Holiday Helpers continues because their services are needed more than ever,” notes CCPA Director Angie McKenzie. “By live-streaming our performances, family members from all over have the opportunity to see their children perform. We’re excited to be able to offer this service to our families and our community.”

While there will be a strict limit of tickets available to family members for in-person viewing of the performances, the doors will be open to the community to collect toys and gifts for those in need. Just as in the past, all donations will be taken to the Cody Holiday Helpers headquarters at 4 Southfork Road in Cody. Dancers and families are also encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped gift that will be given to a local child or senior in need for Christmas.

The performance schedule and details about how to livestream the event are available on the website: www.codyperformingarts.com as well as CCPA’s Facebook page.

The Cody Center for the Performing Arts has been a part of the Big Horn Basin for 37 years, offering dance instruction for children and adults ages 2 and up. Classes include creative movement, ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, modern, hip-hop and acro-dance. CCPA dancers have competed and performed nationally including festivals and competitions in Montana, Los Angeles and New York City. All students of any ability are welcome.
