HAMILTON, OH – The Ohio Stage Company begins its 2015-2016 season at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts with Ken Ludwig’s ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Directed by Skip Badonsky and based on the poem by Clemente Clark Moore, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas is a family-friendly play that will run December 17 – 20, 2015.

“’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 from three-time Tony nominee and Olivier Award winning playwright Ken Ludwig.

The show will be presented at 7:00 p.m., December 17-19, and Ohio Stage will run two matinee performances on December 19 and 20 at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased through the Fitton Center’s box office by calling 513-863-8873 ext. 110 or online at http://www.fittoncenter.org/special-events.  Tickets are $7 each for children 12 and under.  Adult admission is $12.
