'Tis the season to be jolly and happy and festive for the holiday of Christmas is just around the corner. Thanks to the Ivoryton Playhouse you can start celebrating early with their entertaining and old-fashioned “Playhouse Holiday Jamboree” created and directed by husband and wife team Ben Hope and Katie Barton. Right up until the threshold of the big day, Sunday, December 21, you are urged to sing along with Margaret Dudasik, Morgan Morse, Elizabeth Nestlerode, Macy Robinson, Sam Sherwood and Larry Tobias as they joyfully welcome winter with unforgetable harmony, good cheer, a cup of egg nog, and the gift of musical magic as they guide us on a spirited sleigh ride right up to the holiday’s golden doors.
Larry serves as the holiday guide expert as the traditional tunes come caroling out in rapid succession, like ”I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Let It Snow,” “Marshmallow World,” and “Bells Will Be Ringing.” Look out for a reading of ’Tis the Night Before Christmas, a yummy recipe for peanut butter candy, a visit from Elvis where his holiday world is blue and a whole lot of great strumming of guitars, violins, and a cello along with trumpet, bass, reeds, and drums. The super musicians include Morgan Morse, Kim Bonsanti, Celeste Cummings, Mark Gehret, Patrick Lombardo, Dakota Singerline, Gavin Tarling and Steven Mustakos.
Don your plaid scarves and woolen mittens for a winter wonderland of frosty fun as you help welcome the holiday season on a lovely set designed by Glenn Bassett with a projection of ornaments that changes with every tune, like a perfect introduction to the glad tidings that abound.
For tickets ($60, seniors $55, students $25, Thursdays at 6 p.m. discount $30 if available), call Ivoryton Playhouse, 3 Main Street, Ivoryton at 860-767-7318 or online at ivorytonplayhouse.org. Be sure to watch for the thousands of dazzling lights that will be on display when December 6 rolls around soon, with Santa from 5:30-8 p.m. when the whole village comes to colorful life.
Start off your holiday celebration in style with a visit to the carolers and musicians tuning up to entertain you and treat you to a royal Christmas concert at the Ivoryton Playhouse.
