## About

Ballet San Antonio's family holiday party at the Tobin Center, built around its production of The Nutcracker. Children see a special narrated performance of The Nutcracker, told like a storybook on stage, then move on to Nutcracker-themed arts and crafts, face painting, balloon art and other hands-on activities, with sweet treats throughout the afternoon. The Mouse Queen and her mice lead a backstage "Rat Race" tour, and there are photo opportunities with the Sugar Plum Fairy, Clara, the Nutcracker and the Mouse Queen. The party is a fundraiser: proceeds support the company's Learning That Moves You and Send the Kids to the Ballet programs, which bring free performances and in-school ballet to children. Sponsor tables with extra perks are already on sale; individual tickets had not been released when we checked, so sign up for Ballet San Antonio emails or watch the Tobin Center box office.
