Important! What you should know before you Audition
for Nutcracker "Suite":


  • You must be age 7 or older and currently enrolled at BAC in a weekly ballet class in order to audition for Nutcracker “Suite”.​
 
  • There is a $295.00 Performance Fee if you are awarded a role.  Performance Fees are non-refundable once rehearsals begin.
 
  • The dates for the performances are Saturday, December 2nd, and Sunday, December 3rd. Students must be available for all dates and show times. Shows are at the NextDoor Theater, times TBA.
  
  • 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.
 
  • The week before the performance will require one/possibly two (for older students) mandatory evening Run-Through rehearsals, times TBA. The mandatory Dress Rehearsal will be on Friday,  December 1st at the NextDoor Theater, time TBA.
 
  • Weekly schedules will be given out when rehearsals begin and are, as always, subject to change.
 
  • Students must 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 only due to extenuating circumstances, and should be discussed beforehand with the Director.
 
  • By attending the audition we are assuming that you are here to try out for a part and will accept the role that you are awarded. 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.
 
  • Our goal is for the audition experience itself to be a positive part of every child's experience.  So come, do your best, and enjoy!
 
 
Thank you for your participation and good luck to all!
