Welcome to our 2026 Nutcracker production. We are so excited to have you join our cast!
We are putting the finishing touches on our cast lists and will email them tomorrow. Details about our August Nutcracker workshop and September rehearsal dates will be emailed within two weeks. We are working very hard to secure Friday, December 4th & Saturday, December 5th for our shows and will confirm this within one week.
We greatly appreciate your patience & welcome to this season's Nutcracker!

Cast Lists
Dear dancers,
Thank you for attending our Nutcracker auditions. You all did very well and we are excited to work with such a diverse and talented group.
Attached are three cast lists. Each one is slightly different for every show. Please read each one carefully. We tried to give dancers opportunities to showcase different sides of their dancing. We also evaluated work ethic, coachability, a sincere desire to perform at one's best, and ability to grow in your role as a dancer.
As mentioned in yesterday's welcome email, more details about the August workshop, September rehearsals, and participation contracts will be emailed to you soon.
Olga Smelik, Artistic Director
