Important! What you should know before you Audition for Nutcracker:
You must be age 7 or older and currently enrolled in a weekly ballet class in order to audition for BAC's Nutcracker (this is an open audition and students from outside schools are welcome).
There is a $20.00 Audition Fee, and an additional Production Fee of $175.00 if you are awarded a role.
Our rehearsals are every weekend, with the exception of Thanksgiving weekend, through Performance dates (this includes Columbus Day weekend).
Most young children's parts rehearse on Saturdays, typically for about one to one and a half hours anywhere between 9:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M.
Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled rehearsals during the run. There is a one absence only policy that is strictly adhered to. Students are allowed to miss one rehearsal due to extenuating circumstances (sickness, etc.) if absolutely necessary. Any student who misses more than one rehearsal will not be able to participate in the production. Because we have such a limited rehearsal time, no exceptions can be made!
Some children may possibly be asked to rehearse on a Sunday when parts are combined towards the end of the run. The week before the performance will require one or two mandatory evening run-through rehearsals for each Act.
Schedules will be given out when rehearsals begin and are, as always, subject to change.
By attending the audition we are assuming that you are here to try out for a part. If you are awarded a role and for any reason refuse it, we will ask you not to audition the following year. The casting process is a complicated one that takes many hours and many people to figure out. Once cast, it becomes much more complicated when people turn down roles.
As with any audition, you must prepare yourself/your child for the possibility that s/he may not be awarded a role. Many factors determine roles in a production like this such as numbers, sizes, etc. We try as hard as we can to take as many students as possible but we may not always be able to take all.
We want the audition experience itself to be a positive part of every child's experience. So come, do your best, and enjoy!
Thank you for coming and good luck to all! -BAC Staff
