Sleeping Through Christmas — Written by Bill Baker, Directed by Mike Price

Bear stumbles upon Mouse on his way to the creek for a drink. Instead of eating Mouse, they become friends. Mouse learns that Bear must hibernate for the winter and figures out that Bear will miss Christmas. Mouse is mortified that anyone would miss Christmas, so he hatches a plan to celebrate Christmas early for Bear before he hibernates. The question is “Will Santa get Mouse’s letter and come early for Bear?” This is an interactive show where kids get to answer questions.

A Magic Christmas — By Faye D. Julian, Directed by Morgan Schussler-Williams

There has always been something magical about Christmas—from that very first Christmas when a new star appeared in the East to Christmases today when toys mysteriously appear in stockings and under trees, and hearts turn warm. This one-act play for children shows a very special Christmas for Miss Annie Belle, who hasn’t had a truly merry Christmas in many years. Now, running out of money, this may be her worst. She keeps wishing for a white Christmas. She’s really good hearted—just a bit selfish. She is so lonely that she talks to her plants and a dilapidated old doll whose head keeps falling off. A series of strange events, aided by the poinsettia, the holly plant and the doll, give Miss Annie her chance to prove the goodness of her heart.

Holmes’ most spine-chilling mystery is placed in a modern setting in this version – with suspense, humor, and terror. Sir Henry is heir to the vast Baskerville fortune, a legacy that comes with a family curse: death at the fangs of a horror that prowls the moor. Only Holmes can stop the beast. While mysterious lights signal Baskerville Hall and the hound terrifies the countryside, the sleuthing begins and suspicion falls on sinister servants, butterfly collectors, ladies in distress, and escaped convicts. Who wrote the letter that summoned the hound? Is Sir Henry’s romance with the lovely Kathy doomed? Is the supernatural at work?
