Congratulations on being cast as a Cherry in “The San Jose Nutcracker!”


Cherries appear in the second act and do not appear in 11:00am performances.

There will be two types of Cherries, based on vaccination status and height requirements to fit under Casa de Fruita’s skirt. Who is a Skirt Cherry and who is a Distanced Cherry will be determined at the first rehearsals.

Skirt Cherries must be vaccinated and will emerge from under the big skirt. They will not take off their masks or get in close proximity to other dancers until the are ready to appear onstage.

Distanced Cherries will be distanced and masked will include students too young to be vaccinated as well as students too tall to be under the skirt.
