Theatre 121 Brings Irving Berlin's Classic WHITE CHRISTMAS To The Opera House Stage

Theatre 121, the resident theatre company of The Woodstock Opera House, will be performing Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the Musical on the Woodstock Opera House stage for three weekends only.

Based on the 1954 classic Paramount Pictures film of the same name, the musical focuses on two World War II vets who have become partners in a song-and-dance act after the war. Looking for love, they follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters to a gig at a Vermont lodge.

"We have a truly incredible cast and crew for this show with some local, returning Theatre 121 performers and several fresh new faces to the Opera House stage," said, Director Roger Zawacki. "We are also thrilled to be utilizing the new, large LED screen at the Opera House as a backdrop for our set for the first time. It's going to be a show you won't want to miss!" he noted.

An energetic show with tap dancing and catchy tunes, including "White Christmas", "I Love a Piano", "Blue Skies" and "Sisters", it's a show for the entire family to enjoy.

Show dates and times are Friday 11/17 and 12/1 at 7:30pm, Friday 11/24 at 8:00pm after The Lighting of The Square, Saturday 11/18, 11/25, 12/2 at 2:00pm, Saturday 11/25, 12/2 at 7:30pm, Sunday 11/18, 12/3 at 2:00pm and Sunday 11/26 at 4:00pm at the Woodstock Opera House.
