The Show:
A glorious new musical for Christmastime! Filled with romance, heartbreak and mystery, The Nights Before Christmas reveals the dramatic life of Clement C. Moore and the writing of the poem that defined the joy of Christmas for the world, “A Visit from St. Nicholas”. Is it possible that such a serious, sour-faced, religious scholar could write a trifle about a jolly elf in a red suit? Did Moore really pen the whole poem on a sleigh ride on Christmas Eve?? Could the rumors that he is not the author be true? And if he is the author, what is the secret that prevents him from claiming it for his own?
It’s a love story that spans a lifetime, a literary mystery, a celebration of a Christmases long gone by – all wrapped up in beautiful songs like “Christmas Belongs to Her”, “Summers at Chelsea”, “Tonight, My Lullaby”, “Santa Claus is a Friend of Mine” and of course, an inspiring musical version of “T’was the Night Before Christmas”.
Rehearsals begin October 11th. Weekdays 6:30 – 10:00 pm; Sunday 6:00 – 9:30 pm.
