The Classical Ballet of Tampa will present the full production of The Nutcracker at the University of South Florida Theatre on December 1-2, 2012.  All dancers must be willing to commit to a busy schedule of rehearsals and performances. Additional extra-curricular activities must not take precedence.  Rehearsals will begin in September, and depending upon assigned role, and will be held every Saturday until the week of performances, which will include one or two dress rehearsals.

Parent Volunteers are also needed and forms will be provided for the many positions available (such as backstage assistants, dressers, construction, costuming, front of house, concessions, etc.).  These positions are fun and can be an amazing family experience.  These volunteers are key to a smooth and memorable Nutcracker production.
