Registration online in advance is required. Your registration is not complete until the $30 audition fee per dancer is paid online. Community Nutcracker reserves the right to limit onsite registrations. The audition fee is not refundable.
Dancers should audition with their appropriate level and will be cast at the discretion of the Artistic Directors. The Directors reserve the right to make all final casting decisions. Minimum requirements for consideration are outlined below. Auditioning in no way guarantees that a dancer will be cast in the production.
Community Nutcracker is committed to presenting the highest quality production. In turn, each cast member must be equally committed to Community Nutcracker. You are auditioning to participate in The Nutcracker Ballet — not for a specific role. Please DO NOT audition if you are unwilling to accept the role you are given AND to attend all rehearsals and performances.
The nonrefundable audition fee is $30.00 per dancer and must be paid in advance.
