EVERYONE’S CHRISTMAS STORY Runs Dec. 6-15

xactEVERYONE’S CHRISTMAS STORY
Xenia Area Community Theatre
Dec. 6-15
[Xenia]

Directed by Jennifer Sparks

How do you tell an old story in a new way, especially when it’s the most important story of all?  That’s the problem facing a young writer who is trying to write the annual church Christmas play.  Bored by the same old manger and angels and shepherds, she tries to liven it by turning the humble and familiar characters into pop stars, superheroes, gangsters, and circus performers in her imagination.  She has loads of fun during this creative process, interacting with her jazzed-up versions of these characters.  Yet, as they play out the story in her bedroom, she starts to see things differently and comes to realize how amazing the Biblical account really is…  just the way it is, was, and always will be.  She realizes it’s truly everyone’s story.

Elsa and Anna are sisters and princesses, but have grown up very differently despite living in the same castle. Anna has grown up curious and headstrong while Elsa has grown up living in fear of her own hidden powers. Things change when Elsa’s icy abilities erupt at her coronation, sending her fleeing for the mountains and blanketing the land in an eternal winter. It’s up to Anna with the help of her friends to reach Elsa and bring an end to their frozen world while bringing her sister back home.
