The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre to Present THE GREAT ELF ADVENTURE

The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre, the Frederick area's only year-round producing theatre, will add a new holiday production to its Children's Theatre collection this year with the premiere of the musical comedy The Great Elf Adventure. Over the years, many adaptations of holiday stories have appeared on the WOB stage including Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree, Frosty the Snowman, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, andClara and the Nutcracker Prince. The Great Elf Adventure is a brand new, entirely original production based on one of the most popular characters to appear at the theatre, Jingles the Elf.

For thirteen year, the most popular annual event at Way Off Broadway has been Breakfast with Santa (and Mrs. Claus). For thirteen years, Jingles the Elf has always made an appearance becoming an audience favorite. For the 2015 Christmas season, the theatre's producers decided it was finally time for Jingles to have a show all of his own.

In The Great Elf Adventure, when the mischievous Jingles the Elf misses his sleigh ride back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, he finds himself stranded and looking for a way home. Along the way, he meets characters that neither he, nor the audience, will ever forget in this hilarious holiday MIS-adventure.

The cast of this fast-paced, holiday romp includes Chelsea Bondarenko, Sam Buchanan, Matthew Ciazza, Rebecca Eastman, Katharine Ford, Bill Kiska, and Jordan Stocksdale. Playing the role of Jingles is the original and only person to ever play the part, Trey T. Kiska.

The Great Elf Adventure has music by Tina M. Bruley, lyrics by Bruley and Jordan Stocksdale, and a book by Justin M. Kiska. Orchestrations and arrangements are by Joseph Baker. The premiere production is under the direction of lyricist Jordan Stocksdale.

"Year after year, people call and ask if Jingles will be at Breakfast with Santa," says Justin M. Kiska, the theatre's President and Managing Director, and the creator of The Great Elf Adventure. "He has become a holiday staple here at Way Off Broadway. Last year, we decided to write an entire show based on Jingles and the trouble he gets into."

The Great Elf Advenutre runs from November 21st - December 27th, with performances ever Saturdayafternoon and the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Doors open each day at 11:30 a.m. for lunch with the show beginning at 12:30 p.m. All tickets are $17.00 per person and include lunch and the show.
