Nutcracker Auditions

So not all of you readers know what I'm talking about right?  Well last week the dance theatre that I dance in had auditions for the Nutcracker ballet.  I know my part now but I want you to create your person as well. After you create your person I can assign you a part.  If you don't like your part tell me and i'll see what I can do.  There are only so many spots for each part so if you know the story and really want a part, you better get in here!

Here's me

Name: Me

Boy/Girl: Girl (We need guys too to pull this off!)

Age: 12

Preferred Part: Flower, Russian, Chinese 

Real Part: Russian (I'll assign this later) 

If you're interested please comment with your person down below!

Hi Katy!

Of course you can be a soldier and be a girl!  I was one last year and there were only two boys! There were like 30 soldiers!  Depending on how many people comment you could have more than one part, but if you're Clara that's the only one you'll get.

It will be like this

Part : Number of spots : Costume descriptions

Rat Queen : 1 : Crazy and furry, the rat queen's costume shows her rank.

Mice : No specific number : The rat's little siblings, the mice are not as wild and crazy as their peers
