“The San Jose Nutcracker!” - 2025
 Congratulations on receiving preliminary casting as a MOUSE!

Mice appear in Act 1 of all performances as cast.

Lead Mice will be selected after the first rehearsal or two. Although they have a bit more choreography, they will not be listed separately in the program. Although groups listed below have performances associated with each group, this casting will be confirmed November 2.

Performance Schedule: MANDATORY AVAILABILITY

Mice and Lead Mice are in the following performances. We plan to have two casts, so students likely will not be called to every performance listed below, but students MUST BE AVAILABLE for all the performances listed below unless you turned in a conflict with your registration form. Depending on registration we may only have three groups for some roles which will result in fewer shows for each group. Performance dates for each student will be released by November 2. Please note that the times listed below are performer drop off and pick up times, not the actual show times. More details will be sent closer to theater week. Which groups are listed for

NOTE: 3:00 PM and 8:00PM pick up times are at intermission. If you have tickets to one of these shows and would like your student performer to join you in the audience for the second half, they must also have a ticket. You may exit via the Market St. door to pick up your student and escort them back through that same door to have your tickets scanned and return to your seats.
