Mitkof Dance Troupe performs the Nutcracker

The Mitkof Dance Troupe performed The Nutcracker to a full house last Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon in Wright Auditorium. Kate Thompson, center, danced the part of the Snow Queen in the Waltz of the Snowflakes. Here she is flanked by, from left to right: back row, Gabriele Whitacre, Maria Toth, Kesia Luhr, Ruby Litster; Front row: Metta Miller, Hannah Slaven, Freya Tucker, and Rebecca Midkiff. Look for more photos from the Nutcracker in next week's special Christmas Edition of the Pilot.
