Smucker's Stars on Ice: "On the Edge"

This year, Smucker's Stars on Ice is "On the Edge".

The skaters are Olympic athletes who will take their skills to new heights; challenging themselves, daring to be different.

They do it all on the edge of a steel blade no thicker than a pane of glass.

Join them as they put the world's best skaters to the ultimate test, as they showcase their elite athletic skills while performing in an Emmy Award-winning production.

They will be going to the limit to bring to the ice the best that skating has to offer.

Like any high-level sporting competition, they will be pushing their bodies to the edge!

Performed to a broad spectrum of popular music, including a soundtrack which ranges from Beethoven to Big and Rich, Dave Koz and Celine Dion, and enhanced by intricate lighting, dynamic costumes, cutting-edge choreography and state-of-the-art technology, all brought together by three-time Emmy Award winner Jef Billings, Smucker's Stars on Ice will show you all of the possibilities, and all of the ways in which sport can truly become entertainment.

Serving in their seventh year as the tour's title sponsor, The J.M. Smucker Company say that they are not only proud to be associated with Smucker's Stars on Ice for providing wholesome, family entertainment, but also take great pride in acknowledging the literacy and education initiatives of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Thus, to advance these invaluable initiatives, a portion of the proceeds from each tour ticket sold will be donated by Smucker's Stars on Ice to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
