NUTCRACKER 2009
2009 marks the 17th Anniversary Season of the Boston Dance Company's annual production of "
Nutcracker". Each year we perform for thousands of children and adults at the Strand Theatre in Dorchester and Sullivan Auditorium at Worcester State College. Four years ago we added the Collins Center in Andover, Massachusetts to our regular schedule. For 13 years we performed at Salem State College. Other venues we have brought our production of Nutcracker to have included the Opera Houses in Rochester and Farmington, NH; Killingly High School in Wolfeboro, NH; the Lynn Memorial Auditorium; Quinsigamond Community College; Roxbury Community College and various high schools throughout Central Massachusetts.
The large cast includes 20 professional dancers, 10 company apprentices and 50 -80 children. Children audition for roles in each city in late September and rehearse approximately one hour per week for 7 weeks. This is a delightful and rewarding experience for children of all ages. No child has ever been refused a role in our production as there are roles for children 6 years old and up at all levels of dance ability.
