For many people around the world, the holiday season doesn’t really start until you’ve seen a performance of The Nutcracker.

The Catskill Mountain Foundation, along with esteemed dancers and instructors Victoria Rinaldi and Margo Sappington, are continuing their exciting partnership to give the mountaintop the ultimate holiday gift: the opportunity to participate in a professionally staged version of The Nutcracker. The performances will be held on Friday and Saturday, December 4 & 5 and December 11 & 12 at the Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Orpheum Film and Performing Arts Center, 6050 Main Street, Village of Tannersville. Auditions for background roles in Act I will be held on Saturday, October 2 at 11:00 am in the Red Barn on Main Street in Hunter.

It’s the local participation of both children and adults in Act I that makes this production of The Nutcracker stand out from the rest. Don’t miss your chance to be part of Mountain Top history, working with incredible dancers and choreographers to create a magical new holiday tradition. The production is looking for party children, party parents (adults), toy soldiers, mice, and angels to be part of the magic of the holiday season. No dance experience is needed, but performers will need to be musical, comfortable onstage, able to take direction and be ready to have fun!
