For one day only, Van Wert will boast of its very own ice arena.\u00a0On Monday, December 15, the Central Insurance Stage in the Niswonger Performing Arts Center will transform into an ice arena.\u00a0It\u2019s the magnificent \u201cHoliday Ice Spectacular\u201d that will perform for one night of Christmas fun and fascination!<\/p>\n

I think many are fascinated to see how we can turn our stage into a winter holiday scenic ice arena.\u00a0The best way to find out is to attend this joyful and fun Christmas variety show.\u00a0 Many of the performers have credits from TV, cruise ships, theme parks, Disney, and champion ice-skating shows and competitions. From what I have seen, it looks like the show is a perfect family Christmas show, which will appeal to children as well as adults.\u00a0You will enjoy the color, costumes, dancing, music, comedy and much more!<\/p>\n

In case you are wondering, they use a special blend of synthetic ice that does not damage stages.\u00a0So don\u2019t expect an exceptionally cool house when you arrive.\u00a0 And speaking of your arrival, we are planning some special Christmas music lobby entertainment at each of our Christmas shows this year.\u00a0 We want to make your trip to our Niswonger show extra special in every way from the time you arrive until you leave.<\/p>\n

There are currently 98 seats remaining for our \u201cHoliday Ice Spectacular Show.\u201d\u00a0 So, I\u2019m not sure there will be any tickets remaining at the door.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t wait for this one!\u00a0 Call the box office at 419.238.NPAC (6722) or purchase online at www.npacvw.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of tickets, there are many more who would like to attend the \u201cKenny Rogers Christmas & Hits Show\u201d coming to the Niswonger on December 12.\u00a0 We are sold out, so if you have any tickets you cannot use, please let us know and we might be able to put you in contact with some interested buyers.\u00a0 We would hate for seats to not be filled, while people are waiting to attend.<\/p>\n

Next up at the Niswonger is \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d for two performances on December 6.\u00a0 The Ballet Theatre of Toledo is preparing, as we speak, for performances this Thanksgiving weekend at the beautiful historic Valentine Theatre in Toledo.\u00a0 After they finish their Toledo run in their home theatre, they will prepare to bring it on the road for two performances on December 6 in Van Wert.\u00a0 It\u2019s a huge production that includes a full orchestra in the Koch Orchestra Pit.\u00a0 Many performances are done with recorded music.\u00a0 We wanted to bring it to you with live music!\u00a0 There will also be some surprises for you to look for in our Van Wert production, so don\u2019t miss it!\u00a0 A total of 1,400 tickets are already sold for these two performances.\u00a0 Bring the family and introduce your children and grandchildren to the land of Sugar Plum Fairies and Nutcrackers. It\u2019s a Christmas tradition, which needs to be shared!<\/p>\n

Before we get fully immersed into the Christmas season, I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.\u00a0You are among my blessings for the season and I look forward to seeing you at some of the upcoming shows, meant to put joy into your holidays!<\/p>\n
