The tea party is first, on Sunday, April 23 at 2 p.m. Mill Ballet is at 46 North Sugan Road in New Hope, Pa. Guests will visit with Cinderella and her friends while having tea and sweets. The Fairy Godmother will also make a guest appearance for a story time and dance class. Tickets are available at roxeyballet.org/teaparty.
