Adventure Theatre MTC to Present THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS World Premiere, 11/15-12/30

Adventure Theatre MTC (ATMTC) announces its 2013 holiday show for the Professional 2013-2014 62nd Season. Based on the traditional holiday song, this world premiere by Helen Hayes Award Recipient Renee Calarco (2011's If You Give a Cat a Cupcake) and directed by first-time Adventure Theatre MTC director Michael Dove, will run November 15- December 30, 2013. The Twelve Days of Christmas stars Helen Hayes Award Recipient Deidra LaWan Starnes (star of Charlotte's Web, 2011's Helen Hayes Award Winning Outstanding Production-TYA) as Shirley the Partridge, the detective in the case of the missing five golden rings. Tickets are $19 each and can be purchased online at www.adventuretheatre-mtc.org or by calling 301.634.2270.

Christmas celebrations are just around the corner and Shirley the Partridge has got some problems to solve! The French Hens are arguing, the six geese have flown to Florida for the winter and worst of all...someone has stolen the Five Golden Rings! What will happen to Christmas?

Michael J. Bobbitt, Producing Artistic Director of Adventure Theatre MTC, says of the production, "We are an organization that definitely knows holiday cheer, and we love celebrating it with our patrons. ATMTC is so excited to welcome back Deidra and Renee, and couldn't be more thrilled to include Michael Dove in our long list of talented directors."
