Shakespeare didn’t write any Christmas stories, so we turn to a different beloved classic. Author Clement Clarke Moore has writer’s block as he tries to pen a poem about the wonder of Christmas Eve. Frustratingly funny trials and errors lead him to acting out his ideas. With the help of puppets, found objects, and friends from the audience, watch the magic of this cherished classic unfold.
Thank you Iredell Arts Council for helping bring this program to our community. This project was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
