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.

About the show- On a Friday night in deepest winter, the residents of the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine (so far north it’s almost in Canada) are falling in and out of love in unexpected, unusual, and often hilarious ways. As the northern lights hover magically overhead, knees are getting bruised, and hearts are getting broken. But the bruises heal and hearts mend – almost – in this delightful romantic comedy.
Director Skip Badonsky is casting all roles. Needed are a minimum of two men and two women, but this ensemble play could be cast with as many as 10 men and 9 women. The ages of the characters are variable.
