Westport Country Playhouse to Stage FANCY NANCY Holiday Show
By: Tyler Peterson Dec. 04, 2015
Nancy is excited about decorating the Christmas tree, especially because she bought a sparkly tree-topper with her own money. But when things don't turn out the way Nancy planned, will Christmas still be splendiferous? Nancy proves once again that a little fancying up can go a long, festive way! Produced by Vital Theatre Company, the show is recommended for ages 2 - 7.
Family Festivities shows are presented on selected Sundays from November through April. All performances are approximately one hour in length. Tickets are $20. Family Festivities Corporate Sponsors are Pitney Bowes and Northwestern Mutual. Family Festivities Partner is Darlene Krenz. The Family Festivities Series is also supported by the Westport Young Woman's League.
Upcoming Family Festivities presentations are: "Chicken Dance," on Sunday, January 31, 1 and 4 p.m., a new musical, based on the award-winning book by Tammi Sauer, illustrated by Dan Santat, produced by ArtsPower; "Charlotte's Web," on Sunday, February 28, 1 and 4 p.m., a musical based on E.B. White's loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte, produced by TheatreWorksUSA; "Moon Mouse: A Space Odyssey," on Sunday, March 20, 1 and 4 p.m., a cosmic adventure with music about Marvin, the mouse, produced by Lightwire Theater; and "Are You My Mother?," on Sunday, April 10, 1 and 4 p.m., a musical based on P. D. Eastman's whimsical and well-loved picture book, produced by ArtsPower.
In conjunction with the Family Festivities Series, the Playhouse will once again host a book collection for Read to Grow, Inc., a statewide nonprofit organization that helps parents take an active role in their children's literacy development by providing free children's books to families with limited access and to community resources that serve them. At each Family Festivities performance, bins will be located in the Playhouse lobby for donations of gently used and new children's books which will be given to families and programs in the greater Fairfield County area through Read to Grow. During last season's Family Festivities series, the Playhouse collected nearly 300 books.
Everyone in the audience requires a ticket.
