Congratulations to our 2021 Nutcracker and 2021-2022 Company Cast Members!
As always, the show changes from year to year based on the audition turnout. Remember casting is based on size, ability, and suitability to the role. ALL CASTING DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Dancers are auditioning for the production, NOT a particular role in that production. Auditionees may not decline roles. Dancers who decline roles after casting risk not being considered for future productions.
Any questions, comments, or problems should be brought to the President, Mary Virginia Best, and/or Treasurer, Teresa Rubio. Unsolvable issues will be brought before the Executive Committee for resolution. It is essential that the artistic staff be able to focus their energies on staging a GREAT production!
The current plans are to perform as always at the Bama Theatre. However, in the event of unforeseeable conditions, we may have to adapt accordingly. We will continue to work hard to keep everyone healthy and safe and will send you any updates that may arise. Thank you for your understanding!

After you have viewed your casting:
- Email [email protected] with the subject “[Dancers Name] Nutcracker Casting 2021” to let us know that you have seen your casting and to confirm that your name is spelled correctly and how you would like it to appear in the program.
- Click here to join the ‘Tuscaloosa Community Dancers Nutcracker’ group on Band. Our primary form of communication will be through the Band App. Rehearsal schedules, costume fittings, etc will all be through this app. A tentative rehearsal schedule for the entire season is posted on the app, but please check back weekly for any changes or updates to this schedule.
- Review your 2021-2022 Cast Handbook!
U.S. in front of your name stands for Understudy. Understudies are not guaranteed to perform in the show but are expected to be at all rehearsals. It is especially important now more than ever that understudies be prepared to perform in the event of illness.
