Dearest parents, 

We are so very excited about this year's performance of The Nutcracker! Below is important information about show call time, attire, safety protocol, ticket pick-up and photos. Please read this information carefully. We recommend arriving early for your dancer’s call time, as we will not hold the performance for tardy dancers.
12/13 Dress Rehearsal and Show at Barr Mansion- Call Time: 3:30pm 
Once dancers have checked in for the Dress Rehearsal, they will remain checked-in backstage until the end of the Nutcracker performance. Dancers are welcome to bring snacks and games to help pass the time.

Please ensure your dancer arrives with hair and make-up done and in full costume. There is minimal space backstage, so we ask that your dancer only bring the absolute essentials backstage (please limit big bags). 

The stage we are performing on this year is open-air; dancers will be inside the dressing room for the majority of the evening, but we ask that our dancers are prepared for cooler temperatures on their way to the stage:

Health and Safety
Our staff will be monitoring students throughout the day, and we ask that you speak with your dancer regarding safe practices for the day.
  • All students 10yr+ must wear a mask while backstage in the dressing rooms. 
  • When ready to go on stage, students are welcome to remove their mask and stay appropriately spaced. If dancers would like to wear a mask on stage, we will provide a plain white mask on the day. Please ensure that your dancer has a brown paper bag or zip lock bag, with your dancer’s name on it, to place their mask in.
  • Upon check-in, students will have their temperature taken and asked to sanitize their hands. 
Ticket Pickup
Show tickets will be available for pick-up at the TDS Office from 4p-8p Monday-Thursday next week (December 7th-10th). Unclaimed tickets will be available for pickup at will call the day of the show.
