NUTCRACKERNUTCRACKERNUTCRACKERNUTCRACKERNUTCRACKERNUTCRACK Wilkerson Dance Studio presents: Saturday, December 19, 2009 12:00 p.m. & 2:30 p.m. Greenfield-Central High School Auditorium Our Nutcracker show is quickly becoming a holiday tradition for many to attend! We will be performing two separate shows to accommodate all that wish to see it and keep each show a short length. Our date had to be scheduled very late this year, so we decided on early- afternoon times for those leaving town or having parties that night. We hope everyone can make time to participate. Please check the schedule below to see in WHICH show your class will perform. All students are invited to participate and there is NO show fee. Costumes are provided for the Nutcracker ballet and some of the other classes. You might be asked to have a Christmas shirt or turtleneck. Your instructor will send notes home about your performance and what you should wear. All of the expenses of the show are paid for with ticket sales. Please encourage family and friends to attend! TICKETS: $6.00 general admission, advanced sales, age 4 & under FREE $7.00 at the door (if available) Tickets will go on sale MONDAY, NOVMEBER 16 * Girl Scouts * Church Groups * Senior Groups * other? We can arrange photo ops with “Sugarplum Fairy” or backstage tours – Please ask! Some things we do differently from the spring showcase to try to keep it simple and affordable. Please NOTE: No show fee No costume purchase No rehearsal at the school No reserved seats No complimentary tickets PLEASE NOTE: Students ARE required to stay backstage during the entire show. There will be a finale that they participate in. Please do not ask for an early dismissal. JUMPING JACKS: Our three year olds are so small, they often get scared backstage. We make special exceptions to accommodate our littlest dancers!. We will have you bring them to the cafeteria just 15 minutes before show time. They will be the first to dance. You will then come to the stage to get them and they can sit in the audience with you for the remainder of the show. (Be sure to get them a free ticket). If they want to come up on stage for the finale, they can join our line! We do hope you will stay for the remainder of the show. They love to watch it!
