"A Time for Christmas" at Muncie Civic Theatre

Muncie Civic Theatre presents "A Time for Christmas," a Broadway-style musical with a heartwarming message. The show will be at Muncie Civic Theatre, 216 E. Main St. in Downtown Muncie. Performance times are Thanksgiving weekend: Friday, Nov. 28th, and Saturday, Nov. 29th at 7:30 PM and Sunday, Nov. 30th at 2 PM.

In the tradition of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, a modern day Scrooge-like work-a-holic, Bill, learns to open his heart to the season by being guided on a mystical journey to see how Christmases through history were celebrated.

The journey starts in Bethlehem, travels to a medieval castle, then to Puritan England, followed by a Victorian orphanage, and ending in a quick musical tour of Christmases through decades of the 20th century. Bill is then given the opportunity to make a difference in the life of a single mother and daughter who are spending their first Christmas alone and he must choose between his old self-centered ways and the risk of opening his heart to love.

A Time for Christmas features a cast of 50 people of all ages, including 20 children. There will be a live 13-piece orchestra and it's a great entertainment option for the whole family to enjoy.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Call 288-PLAY to purchase tickets or stop by the Box Office Tuesday-Friday from Noon-6:00pm. Seating is by general admission and tickets are going fast with one performance nearly sold out.

Directed by Laura Williamson and Musical Direction by Michael Williamson.
