Hillsdale High School’s Dance Ensemble will hold the last performance of its annual dance concert "Knight Moves XII” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 1. The popular dance performance will feature 19 girls who have been preparing since the beginning of the school year for this signature event. Also performing will be several alumni who danced at Hillsdale in years past.
The theme of this year’s concert will be the "Moulin Rouge,” and music and sets will reflect the proper ambience. There are 16 dance numbers in the show, incorporating ballet, lyrical, jazz, modern and hip-hop. Sabrina Braccini, director of dance at Hillsdale, has put together one of the strongest dance programs in the county, and "Knight Moves” stands as the longest running dance show at any county high school.
Tickets for all performances are $10. Children under 6 are free. Hillsdale High School is located at 3115 Del Monte St. in San Mateo. Enter the large theater on 31st Avenue.

San Mateo High School Drama presents "Brighton Beach Memoirs,” through May 2. Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical comic hit is the story of Eugene Jerome, a 14-year old boy who can’t decide between a career as a professional writer or playing for the Yankees. As a depression-weary nation reacts to the first rumblings of war, Eugene narrates the adventures of his family in their cramped New York home in 1937. Join San Mateo students, directed by Brad Friedman, on this marvelous comic journey. Shows are 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center, 600 N. Delaware St. Tickets are $15, $10 for students and seniors. For tickets or more information visit www.smhsdrama.org or call 558-2375.
The show contains mature themes and language. Parental discretion is advised.
