2025 Nutcracker Audition Information/Notice

Dear PNB Families,

With the start of the school year just around the corner, we wanted to share with you one of the most anticipated days for our students. The Nutcracker Audition will be held on Sunday, September 28, 2025. Students enrolled in Levels II-VI are eligible to audition for The Nutcracker.

More information will be released closer to the beginning of the school year, but please consider the following when planning:

  • Students are expected to be available for the entire rehearsal and performance period. Rehearsals will begin the week of October 6 and continue through the opening performance on November 28. Performances will take place November 28-December 28. Please do not have your students audition if you anticipate any conflicts during that time.
  • We cannot excuse students from rehearsals or performances for vacations, family events, school events, etc.; the only acceptable reasons for missing rehearsal are illness, injury, and family emergencies.
  • All rehearsals and performances will be at the Phelps Center and McCaw Hall.
  • Students must be no taller than 5’2” at the audition time.

REMINDER!! PNBS Leotard Donations 2025

REMINDER!!

Hello PNB families!

In preparation for the 2025-2026 school year, the PGA is collecting leotards that will be available for the leotard swap in September. In order for the September leotard exchange to be successful, we need to start with some inventory of varying sizes and levels. So, if you are willing to simply donate your leotard, we would love to have it. You can stop by either school location and drop off Mon-Fri 9:00-5:00pm. We ask that you please launder (no fabric softener) your items before they are dropped off.

For those who are looking to exchange leotards, this will happen closer to the start of the school year. Keep a look out for additional information!

2025 School Performance Photos

Hello PNBS families,

My name is Lindsay Thomas, and while I primarily serve as PNB’s videographer, I also have the joy of photographing both the Company and the School. With my second child turning two next week, these images have taken on a deeper meaning for me—as I find myself reflecting on how quickly time moves and how precious these fleeting moments really are. It’s a true honor to help preserve these memories for your hardworking students.

Below is a link to the images from rehearsals/final performance, downloads and prints are available for viewing and purchasing through my website, and will remain accessible through December 31, 2025

Since this is the same day as School Performance, please plan for crowds and you may want to plan ahead for potential parking issues and traffic disruptions.
