‘Winter’s Tale’ has the dance you’d expect from a holiday production, and more.
Northwest School of Dance
40 performers in ‘Winter’s tale’
EAST BREMERTON — “Winter’s Tale,” presented by Northwest School of Dance, offers families something new in the way of a holiday dance experience.
In this edition
This production, featuring a cast of roughly 40 performers, features everything you’d expect from a holiday production — beautiful costumes, classical ballet, (as well as tap, lyrical and contemporary), entertaining story lines set to captivating music, and falling snow in the final scene. “Winter’s Tale,” by dance studio owners Stephanie Clarke and Jennifer PicartBranner, is loosely based on “A Christmas Carol” with a bit of “The 12 Days of Christmas” added in Act 2. The story follows the show’s main character, Eloisa, on a journey of discovery, to learn the true joy of the season. “Winter’s Tale” will be presented at the Bremerton Community Theatre, 599 Lebo Blvd., Dec. 14 at 7 p.m., and Dec. 15 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets: Call (360) 509-7468, or purchase at the door.

indigenous nations or tribes have a special relationship with the United States.
Earlier indigenous leaders signed treaties with the United States, making available land for non-Native settlement and reserving for their descendants land and certain rights. Article IV of the U.S. Constitution states “all treaties made, or
which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby …” See HENDEN, Page A10
