The holiday wonderment of The Nutcracker is certainly magical from the audience, but the experience is even more profound from the perspective of the dancers. Now, Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre is making this experience accessible for all by offering scholarships to supplement the cost. The Nutcracker Scholarship Fund covers all fees associated with participating in the show, provides two tickets for families to watch their child and also includes some fun extras such as commemorative T-shirts, Nutcracker dolls, and backstage photos. Scholarships are limited in number and will be awarded when dancers are sent information regarding casting. Forms will also be available at the audition to fill out in person, but dancers are encouraged to apply online or print a scholarship application at  batonrougeballet.org/nutcracker-auditions. Here are the audition times:

Noon–12:45 pm: Boys eight years and up

12:30–1:15 pm: Girls eight years old

1:30–2:15 pm: Girls nine years old

2:30–3:15 pm: Girls ten years old

3:15–4 pm: Girls eleven to twelve years old

Donations to this program are being accepted until September 1, 2021 at batonrougeballet.org/upcoming-fundraisers.
