Each year, hundreds of children audition to be "supernumeraries" -- the aspiring young dancers who play the soldiers, mice, party guests, and other characters in the beloved "Nutcracker" ballet -- in a visiting company's production at the Kennedy Center. Journey with them from auditions through rehearsals to their performance on the grand Opera House stage.
