Children’s
Theatre of Charlotte Presents “’Tis the Season”
Children’s
Theatre’s Resident Touring Company, the Tarradiddle Players, bring a beloved
favorite home for the holidays with “’Tis the Season”, running December
8-22 in the Wachovia Playhouse. This joyful holiday play celebrates the season
with a collage of stories and songs from around the world. Creep softly with the
Tomten who guards the farm in his native
Sweden
, even on the coldest and snowiest of nights. Travel southward with the sun, who
keeps her promise to the trees to return in a haunting Cherokee solstice story.
And climb into the sleigh with Mrs. Claus, who thinks that Christmas needs a
little shaking up! This year, the story of Jacob and his magic dreidle adds a
favorite Hannukah tale to the collection.
“The
heart of ‘’Tis the Season’ is the notion of togetherness,” commented
director Matt Cosper. “We come together in the cold of winter to share
stories of family traditions, gifts given and received, and the promised return
of spring. It’s a warm, cozy – and fun! – experience that our family
shares with yours!”
With
plenty of opportunities for audience participation, including everyone’s
favorite sing-along version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, this
production is an engaging theatre experience for ages 3 and up. Make “’Tis
the Season” part of your family’s holiday traditions.
“’Tis
the Season” stars the 2006-07 Tarradiddle Players company: Robbie Fulton,
Leslie Ann Giles, Chaz Pofahl, and Greta Marie Zandstra.
