Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk made his stage debut in Golden State Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker in San Diego on Saturday night. He and Katelyn West used a vert ramp during the Russian trepak dance.
Although local celebrity cameos are par for the course for Nutcracker performances, the most typical role is Mother Ginger (mostly because, as you can see, it requires no actual dancing).
