Mother Ginger Ready for Her Entrance

Stephen Moser, fashion editor of the Austin Chronicle (the local alternative weekly) is all made up and ready to ride the skirt on Friday as Mother Ginger. This role in Ballet Austin's "Nutcracker" involves a very large skirt on wheels. A VIP dresses in the costume, gets the make-up, climbs aboard and rides the skirt on stage from which lots of little bonbon dancers emerge. Stephen joined the ranks of mayors, military men, coaches, educators, business leaders, athletes, singers and media personalities who have done the role over many years.
