A belated thanks — The Nutcracker is not possible without the generous help from all of our volunteers who have dedicated their time and talents to create the magic behind the scenes. We would like to thank all of our parents and friends spending their weekends with us sewing costumes, dressing, applying makeup and tying hair, repairing props, chaperoning children, and even dancing as Party Parents and Mother Ginger! Your contributions are invaluable to JMBT and our community — we are so thankful for you!! 💖🙏🏼#jmbt #josemateoballettheatre #jmbtnutcracker #jmbtnutcracker2024 #thenutcracker #nutcrackerballet #volunteer #parentvolunteer
