The Dancing Snowman Comes To The Players Club of Swarthmore Theater

Families looking for a break from all of the shopping, decorating and wrapping of the holiday season might want to stop by The Players Club of Swarthmore in December. They're celebrating with the latest installment in their children's series - a production of The Dancing Snowman.

It's the story of Marylee, who was the best dancer in her school until she injured her foot just before the Winter Pageant. Deena, hoping to take Marylee's place in the program, forces her out. In despair, Marylee builds a snowman, who comes alive in her dreams and carries her off to Snow World, where Deena has turned all of Marylee's friends into snowmen. Through her efforts to save them, Marylee learns that self-confidence and perseverance are valuable qualities.

Director Brian Walsh of Drexel Hill, Choreographer Melody Chapman of Bucks County and Musical Director Katherine Lemon of Springfield have assembled a talented cast of grown-up actors to bring this wondrous tale to life for the youngest of audiences, including: Allison Gerrard and Sarah Blandy of Media, Abby Shunskis of Upper Darby and Cathy Baum of Swarthmore.

The Dancing Snowman runs December 4th, 11th and 18th , with two performances each Saturday - at 11am and 2pm. All of the Children's Series productions will be performed on The Players Club of Swarthmore's Raymond W. Smith stage on the second floor. Admission is $10 at the door.
