Surrounding each performance, The Rep's lobbies will be brimming with holiday fun!

Between matinee performances, the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub will be offering hands-on "make and take" crafts for all ages. Guests will be able to shop for unique gifts from local artisans. And a certain North Pole resident will be stationed at his "post office"- accepting and certifying letters, and posing for pics!

Before and after evening performances, the party is on! Come early and stay late for live music (we dare you not to sing along) and more unique shopping. The bar will be open, featuring $1 drinks for any guests wearing "ugly Christmas sweaters"!

The Rep thanks the sponsors of A Charlie Brown Christmas -- Chip and Cindy Murphy, McLarty Automotive Group, and Arvest Bank.

Anna Kimmell will be back in the theatre directing A Charlie Brown Christmas. Anna is happy to be back in Little Rock after a four-year stint as the Director of Education at Arkansas Repertory Theatre! Favorite moments during her tenure include swinging into The Rep's production of Chicago, directing a staged reading of Chelsea Clinton's She Persisted Around the World, developing and launching The Heard Project, and directing and choreographing Willy Wonka Jr. Before joining The Rep, Anna served as the Director of Education at Mill Mountain Theatre in Virginia where she developed year-round theatrical training programs for all ages, designed and led theatre outreach initiatives, and directed and choreographed main stage, black box, and touring children's productions. She now fills the same role at Flat Rock Playhouse in North Carolina. On a collegiate level, Anna has taught at Hollins University and the University of Central Arkansas. She's traveled to Los Andes, Chile to lead theatre workshops for rural students and to Malawi with a donor-engagement project through Heifer International. An Atlanta-native with a BFA in Musical Theatre from Elon University, Anna has also performed across the country in regional productions and on The Wizard of OZ National Tour.

Bridget Davis will be the Assistant Director. Bridget is a Little Rock-native, and an alumni/founding member of The Rep's young artist program.
