At Mercer County Community College’s Kelsey Theatre, the holiday classic Twas the Night Before Christmas comes alive with a delightful musical adaptation. Audiences will join the Moore family and their neighbors as they await the arrival of Santa Claus, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Leonard Calabrese as Kris Kringle and Christopher Guear as Clement Moore. The performances will be held from December 6-9, showcasing the magic of the season with singing reindeer and festive characters. Additionally, attendees can support the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots campaign by bringing new, unwrapped toys to donate in the theatre lobby.
