Yesterday marked the first day we were in the theater for this year’s Tidings of Tap! Like most CTT tech rehearsals, the evening was full of cool lighting, laughing, snacking, gift-giving, oo-ing and ah-ing over new merchandise….oh, and tap dancing! One of our favorite things about doing this show is that so many of our audience members have made it a family tradition and with this being Tidings of Tap!’s fifth anniversary, it has most definitely become a “CTT family” tradition as well. We’ve compiled the following list of the top ten signs we know it must be time for Tidings of Tap!

10. It’s snowing (maybe a lot.)
9. We’re looking up Nutella hot chocolate recipes
8. Two words: Tchaikovsky Beatboxing
7. Stacy is practicing walking in candy cane stilts
6. Our prop list includes a Wii controller
5. We’re singing (maybe a lot)
4. Load-in includes building a Christmas tree
3. Kendra is busting out her “I <3 Santa” knee socks
2. Mark says, “Let’s Hava our Nagilas!” on an almost daily basis
1. ……

We’re leaving number one up for grabs. You tell us…what’s the number one sign it’s time for Tidings of Tap! in your world?

See you there!
