2022–2023 Family Series
The Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Family Series is a favorite for families and kids of all ages.
The Family Series starts with two perfectly spooky and kid-friendly performances–PhilharMonster with the Dayton Philharmonic and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with the Dayton Ballet. In December, you’ll travel to the magical Land of Sweets with the Dayton Ballet’s The Nutcracker.
In the spring, follow the adventure of the Mysterious Maestro along with the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, and put a feather in your cap at Peter Pan with the Dayton Ballet.
