After two months of Saturday morning practices and two weeks of Sunday afternoon practices and three-hour tech and dress rehearsals and then "living" at the Sovereign Performing Arts Centre through three performances....we're officially finished with "Nutcracker 2006."
A bittersweet moment for all.
(And all the above was for our little "angel." I can only imagine how the amount of time involved will increase exponentially if she ever gets bigger roles.....)
It truly is a fantastic experience for all involved. Even as just an "angel parent" watching and waiting in the wings, I can see the thrill it gives to everyone participating.
Emily was especially excited to have gotten autographs and photos of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Nutcracker Prince, the Dew Drop Fairy, and her own ballet teacher who was correographing/directing this year's show. Since the main roles are danced by professionals, it was quite an honor for her.
It gives her something to aspire to.
And allows her sweet and cherished memories!
