Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS Set for Hillbarn Theatre, 12/4-21

Hillbarn Theatre, the Peninsula's premier community theatre company, celebrates this holiday season with Irving Berlin's Tony Award nominated musical, White Christmas. In White Christmas, veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, a successful song-and-dance duo, follow a pair of beautiful singing sister's en-route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge. When they discover their former commander is the owner, and could use their help, the quartet put on a show that make sparks fly as the snow falls. Nominated for the 2007 Tony Award for Best Original Orchestration and based on the Paramount Pictures film written for the screen by Norman Krasana, Norman Panama, and Melvin Frank and the book by David Ives and Paul Black, White Christmas is a touching holiday standard that promises to be a merry and bright theatrical experience for the entire family. Irving Berlin's White Christmas will run December 4 - 21, 2014 at Hillbarn Theatre (1285 East Hillsdale Blvd., Foster City). Performances are Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Press night for White Christmas will be held on Friday, December 5, 2014.
