The Nutcracker’s biggest personality,
Mother Ginger will be turning 40 in 2027.
Over the decades she has raised 268
Polichinelles and brought joy to approximately
174,800 audience members. We think she deserves
a full “mommy makeover” for her 40th birthday. We have a fabulous local costumer ready to take on the makeover. We hope to raise $7,000 to completely fund Mother Ginger’s ensemble.
Dancers are collecting pledges to support Mother Ginger’s makeover during our Dance - A -Thon which runs through 2/28! Log your dancing minutes and fundraise to show some love to Mother Ginger!
