Event Description
A contemporary twist on a holiday classic.
Clara attends a holiday party hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Flowers. At the party, she meets Beau and they dance the night away. Only one problem. Clara is a passionate dancer but not the most coordinated. She trips, falls and is whisked off to the hospital to learn that her ankle is broken. That night her friends and get-well gifts swirl in her dreams.
Come one, come all to the perfect holiday treat for your friends and family!
All shows will have sound dampening headphones, fidget toys and a quiet room for people with sensory and learning disabilities. A Know Before You Go that will include when loud and sudden theatrics will occur will also be sent out on December 1 to ticket holders.
