BRUNSWICK
The Theater Project’s holiday show will combine all the age groups who gather at their building in a production titled “ Miracles on School Street.”
A class of third- through fifth- graders will present “ The Penguin Who Saved Christmas,” directed by Lee K. Paige. The drama tells the tale of Penelope, a lonely penguin who is called upon to save Christmas.
“The Elf Rebellion,” by the sixth through eighth grade class, directed by Elise DeRosa, is the story of a near shutdown in Santa’s workshop.
The Theater Project’s Young Company presents a new take on Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” in this year’s holiday show.
In addition to the “Hallelujah Chorus,” the Young Company will provide a visual feast in their sometimes tuneful version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
A cast of actors from the community and The Theater Project’s Professional Ensemble and Center Stage Players stages an adaptation of John Cheever’s short story, “Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor.”
Artistic director Al Miller is likely to tell a story, and Don Weatherbee, company actor and a directing member of The Theater Project’s collaboration with Spindleworks, will present two short holiday dance pieces.
Jim Hall, the theater’s sound designer and composer who also acts with the company, and singer- songwriter Lauryn Hottinger, both of whom appear in “Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor,” will add music, including an audience participation piece.
“Miracles on School Street” opens today at 7: 30 p. m. Shows run through Dec. 18, on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Admission is on a paywhat you-want basis. Tickets are available online at www.theaterproject.com or by calling the box office at 729-8584.
