KEN LUDWIG’S “ ‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS”
LANDS IN INDEPENDENCE, GALAX & SPARTA JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Directed by Ginger Correll, and produced in partnership with the Alleghany Community Theatre, this family-friendly comedy will be performed on Friday, December 9th at 7pm in Independence at the Historic 1908 Courthouse, on Saturday, December 10th at 7pm at the Rex Theatre in Galax, and on Sunday, December 11th at 2pm at Muddy Creek Café and Music Hall in Sparta. If you think you know this classic Christmas tale, you’ve not heard the Mouse’s side of the story! “‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” But wait! A mouse is stirring – because Santa missed his house last year. Before you can say “Merry Christmas!”, we’re off on the wild adventures of a mouse, an elf, and a spunky little girl who just won’t take no for an answer. Don’t miss this joyful tribute to the holiday season! Tickets are $10 for Adults and $5 for Children (18 yrs. and younger). Tickets for the Independence and Galax performances can be reserved by calling the Arts Council at 276-238-1217; they will also be on-sale one hour before each performance. Tickets for the Sparta performance will only be available one hour before that Sunday performance.
