The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern Virginia will be selling
Kayla Bears along with other Wish Bears at all performances of
The Nutcracker
this year. The Kayla Bear was designed in honor of Kayla, a Wish Child who wanted to be a ballerina and wear a "long pouffy skirt, red tights and purple shoes." The Virginia Ballet Theatre granted Kayla's wish of performing on stage by creating a costume
for her, a period piece wheelchair and roles for her and her dad in the 2004 performance of The Nutcracker.

100% of the proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In what has become a tradition with Virginia Ballet Theatre, we have again invited some local celebrities to join the cast of The Nutcracker at "Mother Ginger", an over the top character in the Land of Enchantment.

This year Mother Ginger and her "Gingettes" will have all new costumes!
