Dr. Stahlbaum Nutcracker Memory

Nutcracker Memory by Bruce Sliney (our Dr. Stahlbaum)

On Halloween 2004, while at work, I received one the most surprising phone calls ever.  My daughter Kassie, who was an ARB dancer, called to tell me that the person who was to play Dr, Stahlbaum in the 2004 "Nutcracker " had dropped out and that she, her friends, and Hellie thought I might be a reasonable replacement. With a little trepidation, I said "yes." Leslie Reed (my first "Nuts" wife), helped me get through that first year and I have not stopped since. Eleven years and seven wives later, I continue to look forward to being involved each December.

Bruce is pictured with Jackie (Bull) Zorich. Jackie, an ARB alumni, is Bruce's most recent Nutcracker wife.  3 years now the same wife?  : )  Dr. & Mrs. Stahlbaum invite you to their annual Christmas party this year on the stage at Hugo Young Theatre, December 12, 13, 14.
