We went to see the The Nutcracker presented by the Collin County Ballet Theater. It was held at Eisemann Center in Richardson. Quite a nice facility. I am not an expert in ballet, but I would say some of the performances were very good. In addition, the costumes and sets were quite nice.
I did bring my digital camera with me. However, I had not previously tried to turn off the LCD screen so I thought it would be too distracting for those behind us if there was an LCD screen flashing at them. I thought it might be under "Settings" but it wasn't. During intermission, I did figure out it is done by pressing Display four times. Of course, I should have known. For the second Acte, I was able to take some pictures. I was surprised because I didn't necessarily expect any of them to turn out, but some were not so bad. However, shooting under low light requires quite an exposure... and those darn ballet dancers kept moving around!
Self-parking was in the garage for $4. We were fortunate enough to be seated near an exit and could quickly get out after the performance, but otherwise, I remember how difficult it was to get out of the parking garage after watching fireworks in Las Colinas.
