“I am honored to be joining the stage with this group of talented and hardworking young dancers from the Dance Academy of Southern California,” stated Kathryn Morgan. “Ballet Repertory Theater allows them to take what they learn in class and perform in a positive and encouraging environment. As a young dancer, performing in the Nutcracker was the highlight of my year.”

Kathryn began her professional career in 2006 as a New York City Ballet apprentice and was promoted to soloist in 2009. She left the company in 2012 while battling an auto-immune illness and made an awe-inspiring return to the stage seven years later as a soloist with Miami City Ballet. Kathryn Morgan is a modern-day ballerina, blazing a career path for herself outside the confines of company life since 2020. In addition to being a popular performer, teacher, judge, and influencer, Kathryn is the founder of Kathryn Morgan & Friends, a community focused on the joy that ballet can bring to dancers when they are valued for who they are above their level of proficiency.

“Ms. Morgan’s participation in Nutcracker rehearsals this fall has inspired our dancers, who are looking forward to taking the stage with her this weekend,” stated Christopher Sellers, Co-Artistic Director of Ballet Repertory Theater. “I am so proud of all our dancers who have been working hard to make this year’s Nutcracker one to remember. Kathryn’s insights as a professional dancer have been invaluable to our company members and other dancers.”

Tickets are $25 each for children, students, seniors 55+, veterans and groups of 10 or more. General admission tickets are $30 each. Tickets for all shows are available at: https://gwctickets.universitytickets.com/
