Way Off Broadway Presents CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS and More

The busiest time of the year at The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre, the Frederick area's only year-round professional producing theatre, is always during the holidays. While the theatre is always in production for one show while another is on stage, when Christmas rolls around each year, the number of activities multiplies. As the calendar flips to November, Way Off Broadway has four productions slatted for this holiday season.

A Special Dessert Theatre Event to Kick of the Holidays
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
November 13th, 14th, and 15th - Three Performances Only!

The classic animated television special, A Charlie Brown Christmas comes to life in this stage adaptation where Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the other Peanuts grapple with the real meaning of Christmas. When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism he sees among everyone during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but this proves to be a frustrating endeavor. When an attempt to restore the proper holiday spirit with a forlorn little Christmas fir tree fails, he needs Linus' help to learn what the real meaning of Christmas is.
