The audition is very important. If students wish to be considered for a role, they must be at the September audition and they must be at least 8 years old by October 1, 2023. There is a need for boys and girls ages 8 and up. The rehearsal schedule is rigorous and mandatory. Students cannot be in The Nutcracker unless they can commit to rehearsals. Cast members should check in at all rehearsals. There is a costume rental fee of $25 per student that must be paid at the first rehearsal on October 1.
