FPAC TO PRESENT TRIO OF HOLIDAY PRODUCTIONS
The Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will stage three productions this holiday season, featuring Tchaikovsky's timeless ballet The Nutcracker and the original FPAC musicals, Snow White and the Seven Elves and 'Tis the Season!
The Nutcracker remains a highly anticipated and treasured part of the FPAC season - a popular holiday tradition for more than 20 years. Set to Tchaikovsky's beloved score, the world-famous ballet delights the imaginations of audiences young and old with festive magic and colorful splendor. FPAC's production is presented with professional orchestra, special guest artists, and more than 100 area dancers. FPAC invites audiences to fall under Drosselmeyer's dreamy spell and join Clara and her Nutcracker Prince on a journey full of surprises and wonder. FPAC presents The Nutcracker on Saturday, December 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 6 at 2 p.m. at the Franklin High School auditorium, 218 Oak Street, in Franklin.
FPAC's family-friendly musical, Snow White and the Seven Elves, debuts this season at THE BLACK BOX, 15 West Central Street, in downtown Franklin. Performances are on Saturday, December 12 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, December 13 at 2 p.m. The production follows in the tradition of a British "panto," a type of show that retells a well-known fairy tale in an exaggerated style filled with audience participation, popular songs, slapstick comedy, jokes, dances and more.
'Tis the Season! is an original large cast musical first presented by FPAC in 1995. The upbeat, jazzy holiday extravaganza features members of the Kenny Hadley Big Band and contemporary arrangements of favorite holiday classics in musical styles ranging from R&B, gospel and Motown to rock, pop and Broadway. FPAC presents 'Tis the Season! at the Franklin High School auditorium on Saturday, December 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 20 at 2 p.m.
Founded in 1991, the nonprofit FPAC supports educational arts experiences, quality entertainment and outstanding performance opportunities for professional artists, community performers and students of the arts. With a focus on youth development and a commitment to live music, FPAC celebrates its 25th anniversary this season. Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation is FPAC's Premier Sponsor and Big Y is the 2015 Holiday Sponsor for The Nutcracker and Snow White and the Seven Elves.
