Theatre NOVA Presents SUGAR PLUM PANTO Beginning This Week

Performances run December 9 through December 31, 2022.

By:

Theatre NOVA, Ann Arbor's resident nonprofit professional theatre, continues its 2022-23 season of in-person full-length productions with "Sugar Plum Panto" by Carla Milarch and R. MacKenzie Lewis, which runs December 9 through December 31, 2022.

The holiday tradition is back, complete with all the zany antics you've come to expect from this raucous family entertainment. When Clara's Christmas dream goes awry, an outrageous cast of characters appears to entertain her and save her from the Mouse King. Bring the whole family for this festive holiday tradition, with original songs, hilarious parodies, a Bee-oo-ti-ful Panto Dame, and of course, all of the candy you can eat! Book early cuz this holiday favorite sells out!

Directed by Carla Milarch. Featuring Dante Justice, Mike Sandusky ("DJ Whittington's Kool Kat: A Hip-Hop Panto," "I'm Streaming of an Alright Christmas," "Sanctuary City"), and MONICA SPENCER ("I'm Streaming of an Alright Christmas," "An Almost British Christmas"). The production and design team includes MONICA SPENCER (scenic design), Daniel C. Walker (lighting design), Genevieve Compton (costume design), Benjamin Cohen (music direction), Becky Fox (props), Belle Youngs (assistant stage manager), and Briana O'Neal (stage manager/props).
