‘I’m Dreaming of a BROADWAY Christmas’ onstage at Caryl Crane Youth Theatre
Caryl Crane Youth Theatre at BGSU Firelands is kicking off this year’s holiday festivities with a one-of-a-kind song and dance showcase titled “I’m Dreaming of a BROADWAY Christmas.” There will be two performances, at 2 p.m. Nov. 22 and 23, in the McBride Auditorium in the North Building, One University Drive, in Huron.
The cabaret-style extravaganza showcases the best holiday music from Broadway and the silver screen, featuring 70 singers, dancers and musicians from 14 local school districts. Selections in “I’m Dreaming of a BROADWAY Christmas” range from well-known standards such as “White Christmas” (from the film by the same name) all the way up to Broadway’s newest smash musical, “Elf.” Co-directed by Artistic Director Brian Marshall and Teen Board President (and Perkins High School senior) Morgan Phares, the fun-for-the-whole-family event is rated G and recommended for ages 3 and up.
Tickets are $10 and are available online or by calling 419-626-1950. Learn more about Caryl Crane Youth Theatre.
“I’m Dreaming of a BROADWAY Christmas” is underwritten by Precision Body and Frame.
