The Nutcracker Cast
Meet our artists who will transport you to the Land of the Sweets in the ballet world's time-honored holiday tradition that brings together young and old for an evening of magic and enchantment.
Our 14th annual production of The Nutcracker features preeminent ballet dancers Ashley Laracey and Andrew Veyette from the New York City Ballet as our Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. Our cast includes dancers from professional ballet companies, guest artists from Texas, and pre-professional performers from across the Brazos Valley. And, to add the Mother Ginger magic, KBTX news anchor and executive producer Rusty Surette will perform as our Celebrity Mother Ginger at our evening shows.
