Ivoryton Playhouse's Holiday Show Opens Tonight

The Ivoryton Playhouse Holiday show opens tonight, December 10th and runs until December 20th. I'll Be Home For Christmas is a holiday potpourri of songs and carols and Christmas fun. What happens when we lose the true meaning of Christmas and spend our precious holiday time shopping and worrying? Come spend a little time with the Evans family as they prepare for the holiday season - decorating the house, rushing to the mall, wrapping presents, racing to school concerts and trying to squeeze in egg nog with neighbors - so much to do and so little time!

Bursting with all your favorite Christmas songs - and a couple of new ones! - I'll Be Home For Christmas is traditional, family friendly entertainment for all ages. Written and directed by David Edwards, with Tony Javed, this show is an antidote to cynicism and a love letter to good old fashioned Christmas fun. Musical Director is Luke McGinnis and the cast includes Amy Buckley, Peter Garibaldi, Mark Gilchrist, Avital Goldberg-Curran, Michael Hotkowski, Melissa McLean, Morgan Pill, Jenna Rapisarda, Elizabeth Swan and Carson Waldron. Set design by Dan Nischan, lighting design by Marcus Abbott and costumes by Vickie Blake.

Make the Playhouse part of your family holiday tradition this year. Come and visit the village of Ivoryton, decorated with over 500,000 Christmas lights - have dinner and take in a great show at the Playhouse.
