Nashville Ballet will hold Youth Cast auditions for the 2009 encore production of Nutcracker on Sunday, September 13, and on Sunday, September 20, at 3630 Redmon Street, Nashville, TN 37209. Nashville Ballet will present the Nashville-based version of this holiday classic. The traditional story is set during the time of the 1897 Tennessee Exposition when the Parthenon was built and incorporates many local elements, such as the interior of Clara’s house designed after the Belle Meade mansion. There are many different and imaginative roles in this production. Only one audition is needed; select one of the two dates. There is a $10.00 audition fee and all participants are required to bring a full-body photograph. All participants must be eight years old by December 31, 2009.
