Theatre NOVA Presents World Premiere Of THE ELVES AND THE SCHUMACHERS

Theatre NOVA, Ann Arbor's professional theatre with an exclusive focus on new plays and playwrights, presents the world premiere of "The Elves and the Schumachers" by Carla Milarch and R. MacKenzie Lewis.

Theatre NOVA's holiday tradition continues with another fun-filled night from the team that brought you "The Year Without a Panto Claus" and "Sugar Plum Panto." Bring the whole family to laugh, boo, hiss, and sing in this over-the-top evening of heroes and villains, funny songs and extreme merriment.

This year Hanukkah gets in on the act, when two toy-making elves on the lam wind up in a dreidel store, and hilarity ensues in this multi-cultural holiday celebration featuring musical comedy, slapstick, vaudeville, and fun.

The Elves and the Schumachers" features Elizabeth Jaffe, Dan Morrison, William Powers, and Sarah B. Stevens and is directed by Carla Milarch. The production and design team includes R. MacKenzie Lewis (music director/composer), Forrest Hejkal (scenic design), Haley Cook (costume design), Jeff Alder (lighting design), Becky Fox (props), and Alona Shewach (stage manager).

The Elves and the Schumachers" will run November 30 through December 30, 2018, at Theatre NOVA (410 W. Huron, Ann Arbor), a downtown performance space. Showtimes are 7:30 pm on Fridays, 3:00 pm and 7:30 pm on Saturdays, and 2:00 pm on Sundays.
