Hutchison Ballet Dancers Spread Holiday Cheer in “The Nutcracker” Performances
If you are planning to attend a production of "The Nutcracker" this holiday season, you might see a Hutchison girl in the performance!
More than 15 Hutchison girls are gracing stages across the Memphis area this holiday season as they perform in "The Nutcracker" with various local dance companies.
Our talented dancers are bringing holiday magic to life as part of productions with Ballet Memphis, Buckman Dance Conservatory, Children’s Ballet Theater, and New Ballet Ensemble. We are proud to see our girls shine on stage and express themselves through dance!
You can see our girls dance in the following performances:
Carly Gubin ’12 played tennis at Hutchison and learned the importance of being part of a team. As a dentist, she relies on a team when caring for patients.
When our girls come together to serve, amazing things happen. During their service retreat, our 10th graders built strong bonds while making a positive impact across Memphis.
For her myExperience capstone project, Maya Pentecost ’26 adapted Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” into a one-act dark comedy. She wrote the script, designed the production, and collaborated with a cast and crew of Hutchison students and faculty in our arts program and the Institute for Responsible Citizenship to bring it to life.

Through hands-on experiments and collaborations with the Design Lab and Dobbs Farm, teacher Christine Groves is helping our girls in junior kindergarten through fourth grade grow their curiosity, critical thinking, and resiliency.
Through the performing arts, Hutchison inspires girls to become strong communicators, creative thinkers, and compassionate leaders in every part of their lives.
Four rising seniors participated in high-intensity summer programs in subjects including international studies, technological innovation and business, education, and visual arts.
