Another year, another Nutcracker
This afternoon I am off to perform in another production of The Nutcracker. Once again playing the role of Mr. Stahlbaum - Clara’s father and host of the grand party of the first act. This is a purely character role, and not a dancing one per se, but it is still rewarding. The role does not rise to the level of my former signature part - The King Mouse - but I do enjoy being able to bring the art alive. I am as well prepared and rehearsed as I can be, but the directors have changed large portions of the party scene since last year. I am expecting another great show, and I will head off for the theatre soon!
