The evening begins at 7:00 PM with drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and, of course, cheese, as the Rat King’s courtiers welcome audiences into his festive domain. The performance and additional festivities follows and includes more drinks, snacks, and the Rat King’s legendary fundraiser, the RATffle!  Ratcracker is co-created by Davis and Sammy Zeisel.
