In a sign of how skilled its older students have become, three Southern California Ballet dancers have been cast in roles often performed by professionals in 'The Nutcracker.'Misha MacGowan and Emilia Wightlin are sharing the role of Snow Queen in seven shows from Dec. 15-18. Zachary Ong is partnering with both girls as the Snow Cavalier during the Christmastime ballet at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts.'I am very excited and feel very blessed to be the Snow Queen because it is one of my dream roles,' said MacGowan, a 17-year-old Rancho Bernardo High junior and Poway resident.
