Northeastern Ballet Theatre (NBT) presents its treasured annual celebration - The Nutcracker Ballet - with 4 thrilling performances throughout the holiday season.
This year, the honored role of Clara has been awarded to Meredith Souther, a 10-year-old pre-pointe dancer at NBT’s Wolfeboro Studio location. Meredith joined NBT 2 years ago when her family moved to Brookfield, NH. She currently dances 8 hours a week plus maintains a rigorous Nutcracker rehearsal schedule. She loves her formal classical ballet lessons, but can also often be found doing a plie, tendu, or relevé throughout her school day, at church or even while out shopping.
Meredith has performed in NBT productions of Sleeping Beauty, the 2024 Spring Gala, and was a Party Child in last year's NBT Nutcracker. When she learned of her part in NBT’s 2024 Nutcracker, Meredith said, “I’m excited to play the role of Clara to share the magic and joy of the holidays with the audience”.
Meredith’s biggest supporters are her parents, four older siblings and her younger sister and frequent dance partner, Lauren, who also studies at NBT. Meredith enjoys arts and crafts, nature activities, reading, and her three cats. She is looking forward to continuing to grow in her ballet skills in the years to come.
