❄️🎄CONGRATULATIONS!!🐁🎁
We have been blown away by the excitement for our second Nutcracker production, and we are so inspired by this cast! We had an enormous turn-out this season (🩰), with dancers auditioning from all around the Golden Triangle, as well as from Vernon, Tupelo, Amory, Ocean Springs and more!
With over 130 potential cast members, you can understand what a difficult job we had making space to showcase so much talent. In remedy, we have revamped our show and made old parts new and new parts wild. Prepare yourselves, dancers!
Last year's choreography will grow to fit our new vision, and we have added in a whole new set of whimsical characters, backdrops and costume designs.
To fit all of these costumes and characters on stage, we will be performing this year's production of The Nutcracker on the MUW Campus at Whitfield Hall in the Rent Auditorium the weekend of December 12th and 13th. Mark your calendars!
Stay tuned for scheduling information, ticket information and for our 2026 Nutcracker Information Packet, which hopefully will answer many of your questions.
Also, if your dancer has been offered multiple parts in our performance, don't panic. 💸 This season, we have capped our costume fee. This means one costume will cost you the same as 5 costumes. (Remember, these are rentals, so you still can't take them home. 🙃)
We can't wait to bring these characters to life for our community this season. We love seeing these dancers deepen their love for ballet, and we are so excited to welcome so many families into our production!
If you or your business would be interested in being a Scene Sponsor, send us a message and we will send you our information packet. Without our amazing donors, none of this is possible. If you sponsored a scene last year, you will have first right of refusal for this season.
If you auditioned but do not see your name, or if you intended to audition and you did not get included on the cast list, please send us a message. (Looking at you, N. B. 👀)
Once again, congratulations to our 2026 Cast Members, and thank you so much for supporting the arts in our town!
