Auditions

The cost of mounting this production is substantial, so to help defray some of the cost, we require a production fee of $ 295 per dancer ($395 total for 2 or more immediate family members). Included in the production fee, each family will receive digital download(s) from each cast of the production.

In addition, each family is required to provide 2 checks on the first day of rehearsals as follows:

• $ 50 cash/ check for cleaning – this will be returned once clean-up commitment is completed (one Sunday between Oct 3 and Dec 4 – 20 mins to sweep studios with a group of people and empty garbage)
• $ 200 cash/check for volunteer hours – this will be returned once 20 hours of volunteer time is completed

There are many different areas in which to volunteer (including fundraising, driving professional dancers from/to train station, assisting the wardrobe mistress with sewing/alterations, selling ads for Production program, working backstage at the theater, theater security, etc.). We recognize that not every family can commit to the volunteer hours and/or cleaning and accordingly offer the buyout option (the two checks mentioned above).

Participation in The Nutcracker is an exciting experience for both dancers and their families, and we look forward to a wonderful 2022 season!
