Holiday Lockdown
A “World-Premiere” written by Thomas D. Nelson & Directed by Ellie Fraser
“It’s Christmas Eve, and Todd is working another long shift with his hard-nosed boss. A special delivery arrives, bringing with it an array of unique customers and the threat of a dangerous art thief. Once everyone is locked down in the tiny bookstore, Todd must work together with Officer Trixie to protect an extremely valuable artifact (along with themselves).”
December 7th & 14th, 2024 (7:00 p.m.) at

Madeline’s Christmas
Directed by Scott Gilbert
“In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines,” begins the story of Madeline. This holiday season will be unlike any other for Madeline and her friends. While on their morning walk with Miss Clavel, the girls come down with the flu, and as they take to their bed, many wonder if they will be able to go home for Christmas. With the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Madeline and the other girls get a holiday adventure beyond their wildest dreams. This is a musical play adapted from Ludwig Bemelmans’ delightful book. A holiday treat for the whole family!”
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.
