Backstage Beauty

 If you ever see this expression on Ruby's face, back away.  She is mad.  (Not at me, thank heavens.  It's brutal to be in trouble with Ruby.)

 Golda and Hannah Reed Fluting.

 Last minute instructions from Dana on how to carry the flowers on for curtain calls.

 And this is what we think of real life during Nutcracker Week.  It's dumb.  Ruby and Golda still have to make a house for a dance company thing next week.

But for now, we're doing this!  Why can't everything else stop while we bask in the light for a minute?  Xanthe's face says it all.  There's certainly noplace she would rather be!
