The Night Before Christmas
Budding Theatre presents
The Night Before Christmas

13 Dec 2016 to 17 Dec 2016

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS …

Beth, Timothy, Charlie and Lucy are looking forward to their new iPads and video games for Christmas; they have no time for the traditional narrator and his boring old poem.

But this Christmas, magic will transport the children to other worlds; the worlds of Beatrix Potter, Hans Christian Anderson and Christmas folklore – all told with a modern twist.

Meet the mysterious Innocent; listen to the poor Little Match Girl; marvel at the Tailor of Gloucester, his sneaky cat Simkin and the Three Little Mice; and strut down the runway for the annual reindeer fashion show with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen.

Written by the award-winning author of children’s comedy The Fairytale Channel and featuring some of Canberra’s most talented young performers, this is a Christmas family event not to be missed.

Please note: there are alternate casts performing each night. Check the cast list for each performance at www.buddingtheatre.com
