For details on the 2020 production of The Nutcracker, please see Artistic Director Brian McSween’s video on the Chattanooga Facebook page. Further details will be published next week.

Perhaps the most important issue for those interested in participating is that there will only be one cast. Because of this, only students currently enrolled in Chattanooga Ballet School classes are eligible to audition. Unlike past years, not all that audition will be guaranteed a role. This is largely driven by available costumes and props which must be assigned to individuals. No sharing in these Covid times.

There is also no guarantee of a live performance. Our plans have dual tracks with three potential outcomes. 1) a live performance, 2) recorded performances and 3) a hybrid of the two. Again much more detailed information will be shared soon.

Below is the date and schedule for Nutcracker auditions. As a reminder, masks are worn at all times in the Chattanooga Ballet space. All those auditioning should come dressed to dance and parents and caregivers are not allowed to wait inside the building.  Thank you!
