Hello Nutcracker Family!
Sorry for the late email this week. Things are really starting to get busy here at the studio for Nutcracker. We only have 3 rehearsals left before show week. There is NO REHEARSAL on Thanksgiving weekend. These next 3 Saturdays are going to be long for everyone. All dancers will be in the studio the entire time running the entire show. If you have a dancer who is an ANGEL/BEE or a LITTLE DOLL/LITTLE FLOWER only, they will be finished around 4:00 so please plan to arrive around then. All other dancers will be here until 5:00.
Due this week:
Flowers - Orders for flowers are due this week. Bouquets are being ordered from Royer's so they will be of professional quality for cheaper than getting them there. It also makes it much easier to just pick up the flowers at the theater and not have to make one more stop when you are already stressed about whether or not you have everything you need and getting there on time. (Hmm I might be speaking from personal experience on that one.)
Due next week:
Red Carpet Dinner - Think sports banquet. This dinner is our way of wrapping up the Nutcracker season and recognizing all of the dancers. Please join us for this special night!
Tickets - Tickets, oh tickets. We will always be talking about tickets. Currently, we are approximately 300 tickets below where we were last year at this time. Please continue to push tickets everywhere. No one wants to perform for an empty audience. Jill is doing a wonderful job advertising on Instagram and Facebook on the studio pages. It's as easy as just sharing her posts on your page and asking people to put your dancer's name when they fill out the form. The matinee performances are fuller than the evening performances so if you have people who are up in the air about which show to come to, seating options are more varied for the evening performances.
Ornaments - Back by popular demand! The ornaments aren't like the ornaments of the past. We are going to try to find another company for next year that can do what our old company used to do. The wooden ornaments for this year are beautiful!!!! There is a picture of the ornament in the Google form so go there for more information. We decided just to go with the one ornament to keep costs lower. You can have it engraved or not engraved. Ornament money and orders are due by Saturday, November 18th.
Don't forget to order your DVDs. You can order DVDs up until the day of the shows, but we need to give the professional photographer an approximate number, so the sooner the better. Don't forget about the Behind the Scenes DVD (Viktor took some funny videos last week that you don't want to miss!)
T-shirt orders should hopefully be in next week. If you didn't order a shirt, we did order a few extras. Reach out if you would like one. I think that is all for this week. See everyone soon!
Kelly, Marie, and Viktor
