Preparing for The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker is the first professional production for many young dancers, and at the Philadelphia Dance Theatre, these students must be en pointe.

Continuing with the spirit of the holidays, Irene Levy Baker, joins us to share the best spots in the region for holiday food and lights. See a full list below!

From the outside, Northlandz looks like an old bank or a town hall, but step inside and you’re transported to a magical world where over 100 miniature trains chug through miles of small villages, mountains and canyons at this world-record-breaking wonderland.

When making your charitable contributions this year, consider helping the children of incarcerated parents with the Eastern State Penitentiary Holiday Toy Drive. Sean Kelley joins us with the details.
