It’s that time of year for your favorite holiday traditions, especially ones presented by Allen Civic Ballet.

This year, your chance to have Tea with the Sugar Plum Fairy promises all of the grandeur and treats from the Snow Queen’s Kingdom on Saturday, December 3 at the Hilton Garden Inn, in Allen. There will be two tea times – 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Guests will be served tea, lemonade and sweet treats while Mother Ginger tells the story of “The Nutcracker.” Allen Civic Ballet dancers will be in full costume ready to visit each table, pose for pictures and sign autographs on anything from toe shoes to Christmas ornaments.

Guests will even have the opportunity to purchase their very own commemorative nutcracker figurine in anticipation of The Nutcracker presented by Allen Civic Ballet on December 17 and 18 at the Performing Arts Center.

The cost to attend the Tea is $20 per person, or $25 for preferred seating. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Make sure to visit AllenCivicBallet.org or like them on Facebook.com/AllenCivicBallet to get the latest information and updates.
