After the Sunday performance, come meet and take photos with the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier Prince in Roxy Grove Hall. This special Land of Sweets Package will include a souvenir ornament. Separate ticket required. Recommended for ages 5 and older. Adults accompanying children do not need a ticket.

Estimated length of performance: 2.5 hours with 20-minute intermission
