23 Sep 2025 Nutcracker Open School Auditions
Tolbert Yilmaz School of Dance held a very successful audition on Sept 13 for roles in Roswell Dance Theatre’s upcoming 2025 production of The Nutcracker. Due to take the stage at City Springs’ Byers Theatre the day after Thanksgiving, this year’s production is underway! The RDT Company dancers began rehearsing their lead and corps roles in August. The cast now also includes all the younger open school dancers from TYSOD who bring extra joy and magic to the stage with their performances.
