A Bit of Christmas Theatre
No, we aren’t talking about the family drama at Christmas dinner! Every Christmas our great local theatres provide wonderful holiday entertainment. Here are some of the plays you can find all over North Georgia this season:
In Marietta: At Theatre in the Square
The Christmas Family Classic: “Sanders Family Christmas” on the Main Stage. Set before World War II, this wonderful musical features bluegrass-gospel music and loads of fun! The play will run the entire month of December, Mondays excluded. (No show on Christmas Day, however.) This show is suitable for audience members over the age of 10. And just in case you are looking for something tried-and-true, this is the 13th season for this wonderful family-friendly show. For more information visit them online at http://theatreinthesquare.com
Also from the folks at Theatre in the Square, the always popular “1940’s Radio Hour” is back! This show ran for 25 years at Theatre in the Square, and after a five-year break, its back again! This time, however, the performances will be at Southern Polytechnic’s Joe Mack Wilson Student Center. For more information: http://bit.ly/s0LJL7
In Blue Ridge: At the Blue Ridge Community Theater
“It’s a Wonderful Life” is the story of George Bailey who discovers in the midst of his greatest trial that he, indeed, has a wonderful life. How? With the help of an angel named Clarence who arrives on the darkest day of George’s life. Yep, this is based on the Frank Capra classic of the same name. Be sure to take Kleenex; it’s a heart-warming experience. December 1st through the 18th. For dates, times and ticket information visit them here: http://bit.ly/vYT5rs
