FEATURED EVENTS

Come join Collin County Ballet Theatre for our annual holiday favorite, The Sugar Plum Fairy Tea on December 1 and 15, 2019.Sit down for an experience of delectable treats, hot chocolate, tea, a Nutcracker story time, and a mini Nutcracker performance. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet characters from the Nutcracker show and take pictures.

This all-new theatrical stage show is based on the hit animated television series Wild Kratts. Martin and Chris Kratt, stars of the Emmy-nominated Wild Kratts, step out live onstage to engage the audience in a classic Wild Kratts story.Starting off in their headquarters, the “Tortuga,” the Kratts receive a message about an animal in trouble. Always ready to help animals in need, they pull on their “Creature Power” vests and gloves and are off. The adventure doesn’t work as planned, which results in hilarious pratfalls and slapstick fun. But they press on, encountering some amazing “Wow Facts” about animals, presented via large-screen multimedia video footage, as they rescue their animal friend and return it to its natural home.

Back for a third installment on December 20, 2019, “Swingin’ Christmas” brings the Chris Milyo Big Band with special guest vocal group “Kings Return” to our historic stage and will feature selections from Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite—along with other selections to warm your heart and get your toes tapping!

Join the farmhands for a family celebration of the season and open house including making ornaments, traditional music, refreshments and more. $5 Admission
