Ticket Giveaway: ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at Adventure Theatre!

As you’re making plans for the holiday season, something to include on your family’s agenda: A performance of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at Adventure Theatre. Opening this Friday, December 6, and running through January 5, the show is sure to delight audiences of all ages. Even more, you have a chance to win a Family 4-Pack of tickets to see it!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” But wait! A mouse is stirring – because Santa missed his house last year. Before you can say ‘Merry Christmas!’, we’re off on the wild adventures of a mouse, an elf and a spunky little girl who just won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Don’t miss this joyful tribute to the holiday season from three-time Tony nominee and Olivier Award winning playwright Ken Ludwig!

Our family saw the show at Adventure Theatre years ago, and we all absolutely adored it. Based loosely on the classic holiday poem, the production is full of fun and whimsy that will leave everyone feeling jolly.

Tickets for ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas are $25 and can be purchased here. You can also try to win a Family 4-Pack through the giveaway below!

Giveaway! Sing Down the Moon: Appalachian Wonder Tales at Adventure Theatre

Adventure Theatre is bringing some toe-tapping, all-ages appealing, fun and enchanting entertainment to its stage. Sing Down the Moon: Appalachian Wonder Tales opens this weekend, presenting four charming stories in one award-winning musical. Even more, you have a chance to win a Family 4-Pack of tickets to see it!

Journey into the Appalachian Mountains in this award-winning musical that deftly weaves four traditional tales and original music into a keepsake quilt of mountain lore and wisdom for the whole family. Jack who lands himself a job despite his foolishness. “Catskins” is a spunky Appalachian Cinderella. “The Enchanted Tree” is a beauty-and-the-beast love story between a lost girl and a frightening crow. And in a zany, sung-through “Sow and Her Three Pigs” plucky Nancy the pig outsmarts the hungry fox. This play with music incorporates singing, mountain dances, music, and puppets to create a highly theatrical storytelling style. The score, which interweaves music throughout the tales, is inspired by “Old Time” Appalachian music featuring fiddle and banjo that drives the play’s action and makes music itself a character in the play.

Sing Down the Moon: Appalachian Wonder Tales is running April 26 – May 26 with performances both during the week and on weekends. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online. Of course, you can also try to win them through the giveaway below.
