The Story: Dottie, the Witch, comes to the North Pole to reclaim Christmas for herself. It appears Santa made a bargain many, many years ago to have Christmas for children but it could only be for a certain number of years. Through Christmas magic, Dottie has a change of heart and becomes Dottie, the elf, even winning Best Elf for the year.
About the play: The book and lyrics are by Michael Snider with music by Dana Libonati. Snider will also direct and choreograph the production. The Peppermint Bear Show first premiered at Lipman's Department Store in Portland, which then became Fredrick and Nelson. It became a popular Holiday tradition for over 30 years. Since that time the show has been produced in New York and countless cities on the east coast, mid-west and Hawaii.
