Zachary performed in Green River's 24th annual Nutcracker Ballet. He played a little soldier who marched around onstage, "chasing" the mice away. In his last scene he'd follow the other soldiers as they carried their fallen on stretchers. For the last performance, he got to play one of the fallen soldiers because the littlest soldier had fallen asleep! The ballet did a total of five performances in one week. It was long hours for Zach, but Mom provided snacks and games. Since he was only in the first half of the ballet, Zachary got to watch the second half of the matinee performance with Mom. He enjoyed it so much that he didn't want to leave for curtain call.
The cast and Director
Zachary with his friend, Liesel, who played the Littlest Clown (and a mouse).
After a performance with G-ma Croft, Mother Buffoon, a Mouse Baron, and a Russian.
Alexander spent a lot of time with Mom and Zach during rehearsals. He always liked to see the Dragon, as it "waited" offstage.
Visiting Zachary near his dressing room during Intermission.
Makeup!
Zachary's G-ma and G-pa Croft presented him with a Nutcracker of his own. Mom painted a Nutcracker ornament to hang on the Christmas tree.
