Owowcow Fundraiser for Roxey Ballet
On April 13 from 5-9 pm, Owowcow will be hosting a Dine and Donate event benefitting Roxey Ballet at their Lambertville shop. Immediately following the sensory-friendly performance of Children's Classic Stories at Mill Ballet, we invite the cast, audience, and the entire community to join us for this special fundraiser. Come early and spoil your dinner or stop by the shop later in the evening, just make sure to mention Roxey Ballet at checkout and 20% of the sales will be donated to our non-profit. We will have a special sundae created just for us: The Carnival of the Animals Sundae featuring Owowcow's house vanilla ice cream topped with popcorn, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry.
We hope to see you there!

Mill Ballet School Students Dance in Roxey Ballet's Children's Classic Stories
Roxey Ballet's annual "Children's Classic Stories" series features two classic tales this April: Carnival of the Animals and Sleeping Beauty Act III-Aurora's Wedding. Many students from Mill Ballet School are cast in this magical production. We hope everyone will come out and support their classmates beginning on April 13 and running through April 21.
“Children’s Classic Stories” will be performed on April 20 and 21 at 2 pm at Villa Victoria Theatre, 376 W Upper Ferry Rd, Ewing, NJ. There will be a sensory-friendly performance on April 13 at 3 pm at Mill Ballet in New Hope, PA. In-person and virtual tickets are available.
Join us for a Relaxed Presentation of Roxey Ballet's Children's Classic Stories on April 13
If your child is interested in seeing Roxey Ballet's "Children's Classic Stories" but is not quite ready to sit still in the theater, consider bringing them to our sensory-friendly production on April 13 at Mill Ballet. At the sensory-friendly performance, audiences are free to move around, sit on the floor if they choose, and enter and exit as needed. This takes the worry off the parents and gives the children the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful show in a relaxed and familiar environment.
The sensory-friendly performance of “Children’s Classic Stories” was created for children and adults with ASD, special needs, or sensory sensitivities and will be presented with adaptations including decreased sound levels, elimination of special effects, and increased house lighting. There will be an ASL interpreter present to welcome deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons. For more information visit roxeyballet.org.
Fairytale Party
Our young friends and their families are invited to join us for a Fairytale Party this April featuring Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, the Fairy Godmother, and surprise storybook characters. Attendees will enjoy refreshments, fairytale treats, a dance lesson, a mini-performance, and may take photos and receive autographs from the dancers. The Fairytale Party will take place on Sunday, April 14 at 11 am and 2 pm at Mill Ballet.
