The Nutcracker - 2024
OPEN AUDITIONS
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH
Performers from all studios and from around Central Washington are encouraged to audition! This is a huge production with a cast of nearly 60, so you all can shine on the big stage at Central Washington University!
​
There will be a second audition for CWU dancers held at CWU - tentatively on September 27 following Orchesis auditions. But CWU students are encouraged to attend this open rehearsal on the 14th, if they are available.
ALL WELCOME!
Performers from ages 8 to adult are welcome to audition. Previous dance experience is not required, except for some lead roles. There is a performance fee of $50 per person to cover costumes, props, and other performance costs.
Performers will also be expected to provide personal undergarments (which may have certain requirements for some roles) tights, ballet/tap/pointe/or other footwear, and makeup. For lead roles en pointe, EDE will have an allowance for performance shoes.
Auditions are Saturday September 14th starting at 1pm at The Studio by EDE at 307 North Main Street.
Times:
Ages 8-15 1pm - 2pm
Ages 16-Adult - 2pm - 3pm
Pointe Dancers - 3pm - 4pm
​
We are seeking dancers and performers ages 8 and up and all styles to join us for this production where we will feature ballet, tap, contemporary, and more! We need several adult roles and many youth roles! You do not have to be an experienced dancer or be dancing at a studio currently - but if you have special dance background, we cannot wait to meet you! Note that Pointe dancers are expected to be taking at least 3 hours of dance class each week at their home studio or at The Studio by EDE in order to maintain conditioning. Younger dancers are encouraged to be taking a technique and a strengthening class and a class in a dance style at their home studio or at The Studio by EDE.
