OBT's Nutcracker performances are a professional production, not a school recital. The children performers are dancing to serve the needs of the professional dancers and management of Oregon Ballet Theatre.
Absences from Nutcracker rehearsals will affect performance casting, and may possibly result in the child being replaced altogether. If a student has other interests or commitments that they feel are more important to them, we need to know now so they can be replaced.
ANY and all conflicts with any of the upcoming Saturdays, Thanksgiving Sunday, any day within the two weeks prior to opening night (Nov. 28-Dec 10), or any of the days during the performance run, MUST be told to us NOW. If they're not, the likelihood is that the child will be replaced.
