LCP Christmas Show for Kids

A Visit from St. Nicholas

or

The Night Before Christmas

By Lowell Swortzell

Directed by Bailey Story

On Christmas Eve, 1822, Clement Clarke Moore’s
house is not as quiet as a mouse—in fact, everyone
is stirring. The three children await the arrival of
St. Nicholas. Mother and Father arise thinking
they hear intruders. Cousin Harriet enlists the
children to copy the poem their father has
just written for them, which she hopes to have
published for all young people to enjoy. But Father,
as a distinguished professor who fears being known
as a poet for children, burns the poem so it can
never leave the house. Heartbroken, the children
unite to save the poem for posterity by improvising
it through a riotous enactment. How they convince
their father that his verses should be shared with
children everywhere brings about the hilarious,
happy ending.

Suitable for everyone.
