Hello ballerina91...Does your sister attend a school connected with a professional company? Most of the time, students' roles in The Nutcracker go to children attending the school, not by open audition. Within the school, there possibly could be an audition of sorts. It depends, I guess, on the company and production. At SFB, in the past when I was there, parts were assigned... no audition involved. They usually assign roles by age, size (got to fit into that costume!), length of study, and ability. If it is a production that advertises open auditions (this usually is NOT the case), she could just go and try and see what turns up. The experience might be good for her. You should do your homework regarding where she will be spending many rehearsal hours and with whom....
