Fan Mail:
“Ballet Wichita's
production of The Nutcracker is an annual event for us and a neighborhood family
who’s daughter dancer in the Nutcracker for many years—since 1991. Both our
daughters will be coming home from college to attend the Saturday Night
performance. We all feel very lucky to be able to attend a performance of this
caliber. Ballet Wichita, accompanied by the Ballet Wichita Symphony make this an
awesome experience and we are looking forward to it as always. It has, and will
continue to be, a great Holiday tradition for our us.”
