SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL DANCERS WHO AUDITIONED AND THEIR PARENTS:
Dear Dancers and Parents,
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wow! What a wonderful turn out we had Saturday for Abilene Ballet Theatre auditions 2023-2024! Please accept the role or roles you’ve been given graciously. Casting is a daunting and laborious task and many, many hours of careful consideration have been put into placing each and every dancer into the role we feel will showcase that dancer. If you are unhappy about the part you’ve received, take a moment and remember that there are many dancers who would gladly dance that part for you. Any complaints about the parts you’ve received will result in an automatic replacement. After all, there are no small parts. Each and every part is a vital piece of the Nutcracker puzzle.
WE, AS WELL AS OUR COMMUNITY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 37thANNUAL PRODUCTION OF THE NUTCRACKER!
