Studio Newsletter AUGUST 2004 A Jazzy Nutcracker like the Central Coast has never seen before! DECEMBER 11TH 2004 SATURDAY 2:30PM CUESTA COLLEGE AUDITORIUM TICKETS ON SALE NOVEMBER 1ST 2004 Each December the Studio has a Wonderful Holiday Show! Our last professional, traditional Nutcracker was in 1994. After a while all Nutcrackers look the same, right? So, this year we are going to have fun & add a lot of new & a touch of the old & call it "The Cracked Nut’. Please start telling everyone you know about the show! Our goal is a full audience, so our dancers will be even more dynamic!
CRACKED NUT - STUDENT PERFORMANCE FEE $30.00 PER FAMILY DUE BY OCTOBER 15TH Individual dancers or 1 fee per family, is required. This fee gives you 2 complementary tickets (good for any age) & reserves your spot in the show. This fee also goes towards the deposit for the Theater, helps with fees for our Dress Rehearsal & Security for all events. There are also 5 full time theater staff members that we have to hire, that operate the theater for this performance. It also will help cover each families portion of the required Cuesta Theater Restoration Fee. Our professional production will cost over $15,000 to put on for just "one" show! Please turn in the recital fee on or before October 15th. If you add this amount to your tuition, please write on the memo line-Recital Fee & class, etc & your tickets will be in an envelope available at the desk the 1st week of November. Dancers in the show, do not need a ticket. However, everyone else sitting in the audience will need to purchase a ticket. (age 3 & up) Additional tickets may be purchased at the regular show ticket prices. Tickets will be on sale November 1st. I wish we could offer everyone free tickets but we have to cover our overhead, so your special dancer has a place to perform the wonderful dances he/she is working so hard to show you, family & friends! Please spread the word about our "Exciting Holiday Extravaganza" FLOWERS & PRACTICE TAPES Limited flowers bouquets are available in our lobby for your special dancers the day of the show!

A NOTE FROM - ARTISTIC DIRECTOR - JULIE We are celebrating our 3rd Cracked Nut Performance in December & in reality we only have 3 1/ 2 months to prepare for this production. There are always weekend rehearsals involved in each show, competition & production. This production requires me to work 7 days a week for 3 1/2 months. "SO" - this is your role: Stay positive & motivated during all rehearsals (no monkey business) - attend all classes/rehearsals on time, so we can limit weekend rehearsals. Practice your parts & dances. Fridays & Saturdays will definitely be a rehearsal day (12:30-8ish), so just plan on it ahead of time, we will try to limit Sunday rehearsal to a minimum. Please remember, once I have taught you your part or a dance, it is up to you, how long it takes to become performance ready. Lets have the best holiday performance we've had in 21 years! Good luck Dancers!!! *********************************************************************************************************** COSTUMES - Nutcracker Costume rental fees: Most costumes in the show are going to be rented, which will save you alot of expenses in personal items.
