Raising Boys in the Digital Age
Raising Boys in the Digital Age
The world of social media and 24/7 communications can be both exciting and overwhelming. Parents, educators, and child development experts struggle with questions like:
- How much screen time is too much?
- At what age should children be allowed access to digital media?
- Do digital tools enhance or hamper educational development?
To assist parents in navigating this brave new world, The Fessenden School is hosting a presentation and discussion with Dr. Anthony Rao, a nationally known expert in child psychology. In addition to regular appearances on television and in magazines, Dr. Rao authored the best-selling book, The Way of Boys: Promoting the Social and Emotional Development of Young Boys.
Join us on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 at 7:00 PM in the Performing Arts Center at the Fessenden School, 250 Waltham Street, West Newton, Mass. The session is free and open to the public, but reservations are required as seating is limited.

Get Tickets for Urban Nutcracker
“Hip-hop holiday fun… [with] enthusiasm and a sense of inclusive community onstage.”-The Boston GlobeTony Williams Dance Center presents the 16th year of the Boston holiday classic, Anthony Williams’ Urban Nutcracker,December 16-31 at John Hancock Hall (180 Berkeley St, Boston, MA 02116). This modern holiday classic has been praised as “a Nutcracker with real soul” by Boston Metro. This year includes three special performances: an Autism sensory-friendly performance (Dec. 17) and an LGBTQ Night (Dec. 29), both designed to be inclusive and spread the joy of dance; and a New Year’s Eve performance on December 31.
In 2001, local dance legend Tony Williams reimagined the classic holiday Nutcracker tale to become a Boston inner-city story with a neon-buzz, blending the rhythms of Duke Ellington with the classical music of Tchaikovsky. Annually, 150 performers – including professional ballet dancers – take the stage to showcase a broad diversity of dance forms starring the multicultural icons of Boston. Audiences will join heroine Clarice as she explores iconic Boston scenes such as Make Way for Ducklings, Top of the Hub, Chinatown, and the Boston Public Garden. The delightful story continues by following the magical journey of Clarice and her Nutcracker guide through classical ballet, tap, hip hop, jazz, flamenco, and more.All performances of the Urban Nutcracker will take place at John Hancock Hall180 Berkeley St, Boston, MA 02116Dec 16 | 7:30 PMDec 17 | 11 AM (Autism Sensory Friendly)Dec 17 | 3 PMDec 18 | 11 AMDec 18 | 3 PMDec 22 | 7:30 PMDec 23 | 7:30 PMDec 24 | 11 AMDec 24 | 3 PMDec 29 | 7:30 PM (LGBT Inclusive)Dec 30 | 1:30 PMDec 30 | 7:30 PMDec 31 | 3 PMAll performances are approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes with one intermission.Ticket Prices: $25-$85; Discounts for groups of 15 or moreMBTA: Green Line to Arlington, Orange Line to Back BayMore info: urbannutcracker.com, 888-596-1027About Urban NutcrackerThe Urban Nutcracker celebrates multicultural Boston through a broad range of diverse dance styles.

Williams’ dance philosophy uses the arts to unite diverse communities in Boston, having had direct experience on how transformative the arts can be on young lives. As a young man, he gained access to Boston Ballet’s dance program and progressed to become their first African-American principal dancer. From there he danced with the Joffery Ballet, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and performed all over the world. When Williams retired, he returned to Jamaica Plain, where it all began, and opened a dance school. Not long after, he produced the beloved Urban Nutcracker which annually enjoys a successful run downtown. Widely respected as a progressive dance educator, Williams has won the Dance Teacher Magazine Award and Wheelock Family Theater’s Wheel Award. In 2014, he founded the Tony Williams Ballet and expanded his dance school to Concord, MA.
