Swampscott Resident Featured in "A Night of Stars" December 4th

The Skating Club of Boston will celebrate the grand opening of their brand new, best-in-class skating facility in Norwood, MA on Saturday, December 4th at 6:00 pm with a star-studded skating exhibition event, "A Night of Stars," in the Tenley E. Albright Performance Center.

Swampscott resident and Forte of Boston Team member Buck Withrow will be one of the featured skaters at the event. Forte of Boston is The Skating Club of Boston’s senior Theatre On Ice team. Forte is a combination of former professional show skaters as well as national and international competitors. The team’s diverse roster of performers sets a new standard for the Theatre On Ice discipline as it combines singles, pairs, dance, and synchronized figure skating in one competitive ensemble. They are the 2019 National Theatre On Ice Champions, the 2019 Nations’ Cup silver medalists and the 2018 National Theatre On Ice silver medalists.

This special event will be the first full-capacity ticketed skating show in Boston since 2019 and will be the largest gathering of figure skating Olympians and U.S. champions outside the Olympics itself. The event will be hosted by Olympian Scott Hamilton, with proceeds benefiting the CARES Foundation, Mass General Brigham, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Performances include Olympic, US Champions and international competitors including Maia Nagasu, Ashley Wagner, Max Aaron, Marissa Castelli, and Simon Shnapir. A complete list of skaters performing at the event can be found at https://scboston.org/grandopening/.
