What's been your funniest or most memorable moment with this group?
Nicolas de la Vega (far left): "I always find it funny when we perform our snow scene in The Nutcracker. We have fake snow falling all over the stage, and we all get snow in our eyes or in our mouths. Once the curtain goes down, everyone is spitting into the trash can! Then, once you get home, you find snow on your living-room floor."
Kate Highstrete (center left): "During Swan Lake last season, one of the dancers bought us all plastic duck bills that we wore onstage with our tutus for dress rehearsal. We thought our directors would stop the music, but they didn't — so we had to do the whole fourth act with them on."
Chloé Sherman (far right): "My most memorable moments are the ones when we're hanging out in the dressing room, having fun and laughing."
