On Saturday, October 26, Somerville’s Deborah Mason Performing Arts Center hosted Scrooge’s Tricks and Treats – A Halloween Boogie Benefit to raise money for the eleventh annual Cambridge Youth Dance Company’s (CYDP) production of the holiday dance-theatre tradition What the Dickens! December 14. 15, 21, and 22 at John Hancock Hall.

According to Deborah Mason Dudley, “We had a blast! I’d like to thank Nicole Jalbert Pirani and our CYDP family and friends plus everyone who came to dance and donate. The ongoing generosity focused on the aspiring young dancers of CYDP is evidence of the powerful positive impact we have in our community every day.”
