Audiences will see segments from "Swan Lake," "The Sleeping Beauty," "Giselle," "Adventures of Tom Sawyer:, and finish with a company favorite, "Goose Pimples," to New Orleans-style jazz by Bix Beiderbecke. Mr. Raphael and his dancers will take questions from the audience followed by a meet-and-greet opportunity in the theater lobby!
