Families are invited to enjoy face painting, arts and crafts, and a meet and greet with costumed dancers and performers. Doors open at 2pm, performances at 3pm.
The Best of Battle
, a fierce production of the best excerpts from the Battle of the Sexes series, has been described by the Orlando Sentinel as a fusion of "dynamic attack and silk smooth sensuality." This adult-geared compilation is choreographed by world-renowned artistic director Robert Hill, a former principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre and will premiere at the Garden Theatre in January.
Tickets are $24 for adults, $20 for seniors/students by calling 407-877-GRDN or visiting gardentheatre.org/plays
