  The following guidelines apply to all eligible students who wish to audition for The Nutcracker Student Cast:

  • Students ages 12+ must submit proof of vaccination to participate. Their first dose of the vaccine must be administered prior to the September 19th audition.
  • Students must then submit proof of full vaccination by October 18, 2021.
    • The CDC defines a person as “fully vaccinated” 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series (such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines) or 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, (such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine).
  • Regardless of vaccination status, all students are required to wear masks, socially distance, and abide by Milwaukee Ballet health and safety guidelines during rehearsals and while backstage.
  • Students under 12 years old will also be required to wear a mask as part of their performance costume.
  • Students over 12 years old may also be required to wear a mask as part of their performance costume as dictated by Artistic Staff.
  • Students will be subject to routine COVID-19 tests as prescribed by Milwaukee Ballet’s Health & Safety Committee.

• Parent Volunteers

  Milwaukee Ballet’s annual presentation of The Nutcracker has a large student cast that would not be possible without many family volunteers. Volunteers are critical to the success of the show and provide an exciting insiders-look at the production. Volunteer opportunities will be discussed at the mandatory full cast meeting.

  All Volunteers must be adults that are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, meaning the volunteer date must be at least 14 days after the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series or at least 14 days after a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. Proof of vaccination must be submitted in advance to Alyx Johnson.

  Only Backstage Supervisors who are volunteering for the specific performance/rehearsal are allowed in the backstage area. A backstage access pass will be issued to the backstage supervisors for the scheduled rehearsals and performances. Volunteers are eligible to use a discounted parking voucher when they are on duty.

  The following individuals must complete a Milwaukee Ballet Volunteer Application. This application will be valid for up to 2 years from submission date:

  • First-time volunteers with Milwaukee Ballet and MBSA
  • Volunteers who submitted their application in Fall 2019 and wish to renew their application for Fall 2021 volunteer opportunities.
